Ingredients
- 2 cups cake flour
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- cinnamon sugar for sprinkling
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350F. Line several cookie sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
Sift flour into a bowl. Add in the salt and cinnamon and sift again. It is important to sift the flour twice.
In a stand mixer, beat butter on medium speed for several minutes until soft. With the mixer on low speed, add the sugar in a slow stream and beat until light and fluffy. Add in the egg yolk and both extracts and mix until combined. Then add in the flour mixture and mix until combined.
Load the dough into the cookie press per the manufacturer’s instructions. Press cookies onto the cookie sheets about 1 ½ inches apart. Decorate the cookies with sprinkles, candies, and other decorations. I sprinkled cinnamon sugar on mine. Bake for 8-10 minutes until golden. Cool cookie sheets on a wire rack.
