Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
0.5 cup white sugar
2 egg yolks
0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
2.25 cups all-purpose flour
0.5 teaspoon baking powder

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare two baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Incorporate the egg yolks and vanilla extract, mixing until thoroughly combined. Gradually beat in the flour and baking powder. If the dough doesn't fully come together, use your hands to finish mixing until it forms a cohesive ball.
Load the dough into a cookie press and press out your desired spritz cookie shapes directly onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them slightly apart.
Bake in the preheated oven until the edges of the cookies turn a light golden brown, approximately 8 to 10 minutes. Allow the cookies to cool slightly on the baking sheets before carefully transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely before decorating as desired.
