- Electric Mixer
- Cookie press
- Baking Sheet
Ingredients
- 3 ounces cream cheese room temperature
- ½ cup shortening
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Sweet'N Low® 8 oz. Bulk Box or 10 Sweet'N Low® packets
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 cup sifted flour
- ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- red or green food coloring if desired
- assorted sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° F.
- In a mixer, cream the shortening and cream cheese until smooth and well combined.
- Add the sugar, Sweet'N Low®, egg yolk, flour, vanilla, and salt and mix until well combined.
- At this point, divide the dough in half or thirds and add some drops of food coloring until the desired hue is reached.
- Using a spatula or knife, press one dough color into the barrel of the cookie press and use according to manufacturer’s directions. Place the cookie press on a baking sheet, squeeze the trigger, and gently lift up. If dough should stick to the press, gently remove with the tip of a knife or finger. Cookies can be about 1 ½ inches apart on the baking sheet. Decorate with sprinkles, if desired.
- Bake for 10 minutes or until cookies are very lightly golden on the edges.
- Allow to cool on baking sheet for a couple of minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
You can divide the dough in half or in thirds before adding it to the cookie press, and add food coloring. I recommend gel food coloring for a more vibrant and solid colors.
