- 1 cup (227 g) Butter unsalted room temperature
- 3 oz (3 oz) Cream Cheese softened
- 1 cup (200 g) Sugar white
- 1 (1) Egg yolk
- 1 ½ teaspoon (1.5 teaspoon) Vanilla Extract
- 2 ½ cups (312.5 g) All-purpose flour
- Holiday sprinkles
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C or 180°C). Add the butter and cream cheese to a stand or hand-held mixer and blend for a minute or two. Then add the sugar and mix on a medium speed for 2 to 3 minutes.
Add egg yolk and vanilla extract and blend into the mixture. Turn down the speed, add the flour slowly, and mix until all the flour is incorporated. Scrape down the sides if needed to mix all the flour.
Take a quarter of the cookie dough and shape it into a log. I dust it with flour, then slide it into the cylinder of the cookie press. Assemble the cookie press according to the cookie press maker. I used an OXO cookie press and only had to press once for each cookie. You will get fewer cookies if your cookie press needs to be pressed twice for each cookie dispensed.
Press the cookies about an inch apart on a non-greased, no-parchment sheet pan. Then sprinkle your favorite color sprinkles onto the cookies. Bake for 9-11 minutes; mine were spot on for 10 minutes, so adjust accordingly. Pull from the oven and move to a cooling rack.
