Butter cookies (squirt-pressed)

Ingredients:

• 220 g butter
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 0.5 tsp almond extract
• 1 large egg
• 2 and 1/4 cups premium flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• Colored sprinkles
• Special equipment: cookie press

Preparation:

1. Preheat oven to 175°C.
2. In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar with a mixer until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add the vanilla and almond extracts and the egg and mix; don't worry if the mixture separates. Sift together the flour and baking powder and add to the butter. Knead the dough.
3. Using a cookie press, pipe the dough onto ungreased baking sheets. Sprinkle with colored sprinkles.
4. Bake until the cookies are set but still light in color, 6-8 minutes. After a few minutes, transfer the cookies to a wire rack and cool.
