SPRITZ COOKIES - SWEDISH BUTTER COOKIES RECIPE - (4.3/5)

Steps:
- Adjust oven rack to middle position; heat oven to 375°F. In small bowl, beat yolk, cream, and vanilla with fork until combined; set aside. In standing mixer, cream butter, sugar, and salt at medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes. Scrape down bowl with rubber spatula. With mixer running at medium speed, add yolk/cream mixture and beat until incorporated, about 30 seconds. Scrape down bowl. With mixer running at low speed, gradually beat in flour until combined. Scrape down bowl and give final stir with rubber spatula to ensure that no flour pockets remain. If using cookie press to form cookies, follow manufacturer's instructions to fill press; if using pastry bag, press or pipe cookies onto un-greased baking sheets, spacing them about 1 1/2 inches apart. Bake one sheet at a time until cookies are light golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes, rotating baking sheet halfway through baking time. Cool cookies on baking sheet until just warm, 10 to 15 minutes; using metal spatula, transfer to wire rack and cool to room temperature. My tips for best success: Use room temperature butter and egg yolk. Make sure that your baking sheets are clean, and free of grease (or the cookies could stick). Do NOT put the cookies on parchment paper and don't grease the baking sheet! If you are using a cookie press, roll the dough into a "log". It will easily slip into the cylinder. Press the dough into the cylinder, trying to get out the air bubbles. Some of the cookies will come out deformed. Just scoop the dough off the baking sheet, and add back with the rest of the unbaked dough. Allow the cookies to cool for a few minutes, and loosen them with a spatula. Once completely cool, move to a baking rack.

- Thorougly cream the butter and sugar. Add egg and extracts, beating well. Sift flour with one t. baking powder. Add to the creamed mixture. Mix smooth. Do not chill. Force into cookie press. Bake 400 for 8-10 minutes. Cool
Tips:
- Use chilled dough: Chilling the dough before baking helps the cookies hold their shape and prevents them from spreading too much.
- Roll the dough evenly: To ensure that the cookies are all the same size and shape, roll out the dough to an even thickness.
- Use a cookie press: A cookie press is a helpful tool for making spritz cookies. It allows you to easily create intricate shapes and designs.
- Bake the cookies until the edges are just set: Overbaking the cookies will make them dry and crumbly. Bake them just until the edges are set and the bottoms are lightly browned.
- Let the cookies cool completely: Before decorating or storing the cookies, let them cool completely on a wire rack.
