• 1 lb butter , no substitutes
• 1 cup sugar, regular granulated
• 2 eggs
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking powder

• 1 Demo about using cookie press /bb/viewtopic.zsp?t=243023.
• 2 Set out the butter so it is at room temperature.
• 3 Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
• 4 In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar; add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition, add the vanilla.
• 5 In a different bowl combine flour and baking powder; add this dry mixture to creamed mixture and mix well.
• 6 If you want to add a drop of food coloring, do so.
• 7 Put a portion of dough into the cookie press.
• 8 Shape dough with cookie press. ( When I use the swirlie plate, I like to get some dough onto the cookie sheet with press' feet? down -whatever you call them- LOL- right on the cookie sheet and then turn the screw gizmo about 3 rotations. The first few usually do not look the best but by about the third one I have it figured out.).
• 9 Place on ungreased cookie sheet.
• 10 Bake at 325 degrees for 14-15 minutes. If you use a dark cookie sheet it will take less time.
