I came across this recipe on Never Skip Dessert and thought it would give me the perfect opportunity to use the cookie press I’ve had stashed in my closet for over a year. They turned out wonderfully! They were light and airy with a sweet and mild flavor. My Betty Crocker Cookie Press soo easy to use – I’ll definitely be adding this to my list of Christmas cookie keepers!
- 1 ½ cups butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsp milk
- 1 tsp vanilla
- ½ tsp almond extract
- 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- Optional: sprinkles, food coloring
- In a medium bowl, cream butter and sugar until well combined.
- Add egg, milk, vanilla and almond extract; beat well.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour and baking powder; gradually add to creamed mixture, making a smooth dough. Do not chill.
- Place dough into cookie press and press cookies onto ungreased cookie sheet. Sprinkle with sprinkles.
- Bake at 375 for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned around edges [baked 8-10 for me]. Remove cookies from sheet; cool on rack.
these are adorable!
Thank you!
These look absolutely delicious! Love the colours and decorations 🙂
Thanks! I saw the chocolate spritz cookie recipe you posted and I think I’m going to have to try that next!
Thank you so much!! They are good 🙂
Sincerely,

So glad you enjoyed the recipe! Merry Christmas!
Everyone who tried them loved them – thanks again for sharing it!
Wow! I completely forgot about these cookies! I used to make them as a kid all the time with my grandmother’s vintage cookie press. You’ve inspired me to do this again! And I will try your recipe too!!!
That’s great! 🙂 I love reminiscing about past Christmas memories and traditions. Every time I hear Bing Crosby’s White Christmas, it takes me back to being a young girl and snuggling up with my mom to watch White Christmas after spending the day helping her bake cookies.
