Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup (2 sticks; 230g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
1 large egg, at room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon almond extract
2 and 1/4 cups (281g) all-purpose flour (spoon & leveled)
1/2 teaspoon salt
optional: gel food coloring, sprinkles, chocolate chips, and melted chocolate for decorating

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line 2 or 3 large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  • In a large bowl, using a handheld mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter and granulated sugar together on medium-high speed until smooth, about 2 minutes. Add the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract, and beat on high speed until combined, about 1 minute. Scrape down the sides and up the bottom of the bowl and beat again as needed to combine.
  • On low speed, beat in the flour and salt. Turn up to high speed and beat until completely combined.
  • Follow cookie press manufacturer's directions to fit your cookie press with a decorative plate. Scrape some of the dough into your cookie press. Hold the cookie press perpendicular to the lined baking sheet and press out the cookies 2 inches (5 cm) apart. If desired, decorate the shaped cookie dough with sprinkles or press a chocolate chip into the center. Note: It's helpful to lightly brush the shaped cookie dough with water before adding sprinkles-this helps them stick.
  • If the cookie dough becomes too soft as you work, chill the shaped cookie dough in the refrigerator for 10 minutes before baking.
  • Bake until very lightly browned on the edges, 7-9 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. If desired, drizzle with melted chocolate.
  • Cookies stay fresh in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.

Tips:

  • Chill the dough: Chilling the dough helps the cookies hold their shape better and prevents them from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Use high-quality chocolate: The quality of the chocolate you use will greatly affect the taste of the cookies. Use a chocolate that you enjoy eating on its own.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cookies at the right temperature: The cookies should be baked at a high temperature for a short amount of time. This will help them develop a crispy exterior and a soft, chewy interior.
  • Let the cookies cool completely: Let the cookies cool completely before enjoying them. This will help them set and develop their full flavor.

Conclusion:

Chocolate press cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. By following these tips, you can make the best chocolate press cookies possible.
