Learn How it Works...
Cookie
1 cup Land O Lakes® Butter
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup sugar
1 large Land O Lakes® Egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 tablespoon milk
Topping
Decorator sugars, if desired
STEP 1
Melt butter in 2-quart heavy saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly, 6-8 minutes or until butter turns a deep, rich brown color. (Watch closely.) Immediately pour into metal bowl. Cover; refrigerate until butter is cool to touch and slightly solid.
STEP 2
Stir together flour, baking powder and salt in bowl.
STEP 3
Heat oven to 375°F.
STEP 4
Spoon butter into bowl; add sugar. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until creamy. Add egg and vanilla; beat until well mixed. Add flour mixture and milk to butter mixture; beat at low speed until well mixed.
STEP 5
Fit cookie press with desired template; fill with cookie dough. Press dough into desired shapes onto ungreased cookie sheets. Sprinkle with decorator sugars, if desired. Bake 8-10 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Cool completely.
Add additional milk, 1 tablespoonful at a time, if dough is too dry and crumbly.
