Spritz Cookies

This is the recipe I most often use in a cookie press.  This year I treated myself to extra-large cookies press and you can see the results above from a cookie-making party with Meg and our friend Michelle (who really needs to post recipes on here too!!  She knows which one!).
This cookies are almost 2x the size of my old cookie-press cookies, and I'm still trying to decide if it's safer to snack on the small cookies (where you can't eat just one), or try and limit myself to one of the big ones haha...

Very important with this recipe, the butter and the egg should be at room temperature.  DO NOT chill the dough beforehand if using a cookie press.  

Ingredients:
1 1/2 c. butter
1 c. granulated sugar
1 egg
2 Tbsp milk
2 tsp vanilla
4 c. sifted flour
1 tsp baking powder

1. Cream together butter and sugar.  Add egg, milk, and vanilla. Beat well.

2. Sift together flour and baking soda.  Gradually add to the rest of the ingredients, beating well in between each addition.

3. Bank at 400 degrees for 8 minutes.
