Here are Daisy's two picks...they are filled with butter - her favorite ingredient!
Spritz
1 cup butter
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
2 1/2 cups sifted flour
Cream butter until soft. Blend in sugar, 1/4 cup at a time till mixture is fluffy. Beat in egg, vanilla, and almond extracts. Stir in flour. Pack dough into cookie press; press shapes on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 400 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes. Cookies should be set, not brown. Makes 6 dozen.
We made daisies, of course!
Fairy Drops
1 cup butter
3 oz. cream cheese
1 cup sugar
1 egg yolk

ReplyDeleteHi Daisy, our Mommy stinks at cooking. Whenever she cooks anything fur us like meatballs or rice, etc, she burns it. Never fails. She is getting up the courage to try to bake a cookie this year - without burning it. Wish her luck. Thanks fur posting the cookie recipe.
