 
I bought a cookie press this weekend, so tonight Destiny and I whipped up a batch. Just reading the recipe, you can imagine how tasty they are -- this is one of the recipes that came with the press. It's very simple, and it is so damn good you should all make Christmas Cookies with it:- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup butter (or margarine, but margarine is for wussies. Let it sit out on the counter and soften before mixing.)
- 1 egg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2-2/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Combine butter, sugar, and egg and mix until batter becomes creamy. Add in the flour, salt, and vanilla extract. (...and mix until creamy.)Put the dough in the refrigerator so it becomes stiff. (at this point, it tells about using the cookie press. Make your cookies however you like. The thinner the better; thicker cookies don't get done in the middle by the time the outside browns)Bake for 8-10 minutes (my experience: 5-7 minutes, until edges brown) at 400 degrees F.And that's it. You probably already have the ingredients lying around the house. Roll out the dough, break out the cookie cutters, and eat cookies until you're sick.
hey derek,

and destiny a happy holidays
and a peaceful and prosperous
