Preparation

Step 1

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Combine butter, sugar, vanilla extract, espresso powder, and caramel liqueur (if using) into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.

Mix on medium speed until light and fluffy, approx 2 minutes.

Add egg and mix just until incorporated.

Sift flour and salt into a medium bowl, then add into creamed butter. Stir just until dough is formed.

Without refrigerating roll dough into small cylinders, then transfer them onto your cookie press and form desired shapes onto an ungreased cookie sheet.

Bake 7 – 9 minutes or until set and bottoms are golden brown. Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
