Cookie Press Cookies
This recipe came with my mother's
cookie press; I've just adapted it to whole wheat flour
Sheets lightly greased Oven 375
degrees C Time 10-12 minutes
1/2 C butter
1 C sugar
2 eggs
1 T milk
1 t vanilla
Mill:*
375 g soft wheat
1/4 t powder
1/4 t salt
1/2 t nutmeg
Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs,
milk and vanilla until smooth and light.
Whisk flour, powder and salt together, then stir into wet, just until
mixed.
Press shapes close together (they won't spread much) onto lightly
greased sheets. Bake 10-12 minutes until barely golden at the
edges.
Optional: For a drier, more shortbread-ish cookie:
Skip the milk;
Use 20% rice flour (1/2 C or 75g);
Lower the sugar to 1/2 C brown sugar.
Bake longer at lower temp (325) until barely golden
