This is a cookie that my family has made every year at Christmas for as long as I can remember. It is one of my favorites, especially when they are frozen! One thing that is needed to make these cookies is a cookie press. The one below is similar to mine. Keep in mind that these cookies aren't only for Christmas! There are other shapes that come with the cookie press, making these great for anytime of the year. Another thing that people do with this dough is add food coloring. I prefer the sprinkles to the food color, but go ahead and try whatever!
Ingredients:
1 pound butter
1 1/3 cup sugar
6 egg yolks
5 cups flour
2 teaspoons vanilla
Combine butter, sugar, egg yolks, and vanilla. Fold in flour. Let the dough chill for a little while. When ready, put into cookie press and press onto a cookie sheet. If desired, add colored sugar to the cookies and bake at 375 degrees for about 8 minutes, or until firm to touch. Be careful, these will brown up very quickly. Watch them closely while in the oven.
