Directions

In a medium mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Mix in egg and vanilla. In a separate small mixing bowl, mix together flour and salt; add to the bowl with the butter mixture and mix until no traces of flour remain. Divide dough in half; shape each half into a rough disc shape. Wrap dough tightly in plastic wrap; cover and chill dough until slightly stiff (about 30 min.). Place dough into a cookie press fitted with desired template; follow manufacturer's instructions to press cookies 1" apart onto ungreased cookie sheets. Sprinkle with colored sugars, if desired. Bake in a preheated 400° oven until edges are lightly browned (6-8 min.). Let cookies rest on sheet pans for 2 min.; move to a wire rack to cool completely.
