Ingredients

1 cup butter, softened
3 egg yolks
2.5 cups all-purpose flour
0.67 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). In a large bowl, cream together the butter, sugar, egg yolks, and vanilla until the mixture is smooth and creamy, approximately 2 minutes.
Gradually stir in the flour by hand until a smooth and pliable dough forms.
Load the dough into a cookie press fitted with your chosen template. Press the dough onto ungreased baking sheets, leaving about 1 inch of space between each cookie. Sprinkle with your favorite colored sugars.
Bake in the preheated oven until the cookies are set and lightly golden around the edges, about 7 to 10 minutes. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
Enjoy your delicious homemade spritz cookies!
