Spritz Cookies Ingredients 1 cup butter, softened/room temp - set on counter for about 15 minutes 3/4 cup sugar

1 tsp vanilla 3 egg yolks, room temp 2 1/2 cups flour 1/2 tsp baking powder 1/4 tsp salt Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar. Add egg yolks and vanilla mixing well. In a small bowl combine flour, baking powder, and salt with a wire whisk. Add dry ingredients slowly to the butter and sugar and mix until the dough is in small to medium sized clumps. Now mix with your hands to form dough into a ball. (Should have a consistency similar to Play Dough, but not dry.) If your dough is sticky, add flour; a tablespoon at a time. If it seems dry, add softened butter; a tablespoon at a time. Load dough into press. Top with colored sugars or other sprinkles. Bake on ungreased cookie sheets for 8 - 10 minutes. Allow to cool for a few minutes on cookie sheets before removing and placing on cooling racks. Makes about 5 - 6 dozen. (I am not exactly sure as we were eating them as they were coming out of the oven.) :)
