Ingredients

• 1 1/2 1 1/2 1/2 cups butter, softened
• 1 1 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 1 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 1 1 egg
• 1 1 1 tablespoon vanilla bean paste

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. In a large mixing bowl beat butter with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Add granulated sugar and baking powder. Beat until combined, scraping sides of bowl occasionally. Beat in egg and vanilla bean paste until combined. Beat in as much of the flour as you can with the mixer. Using a wooden spoon, stir in any remaining flour.

Pack unchilled dough into a cookie press fitted with a star plate or other plate. Force dough through the cookie press onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Sprinkle cookies with Quick Vanilla Sugar.

Bake about 8 minutes or until edges are firm but not brown. Transfer cookies to a wire rack; cool.
