Pressed Sugar cookies: Ingredients: 16 Tbs. (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature 1 cup sugar 1 egg 2 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract 1/2 tsp. salt 2 1/2 cups sifted all-purpose flour Colored sugars or icings for decorating
Directions: Preheat an oven to 375°F.
In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine the butter and sugar. Beat on high speed until light and fluffy, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Add the egg, vanilla and salt and continue beating until well mixed. Using a spoon, stir in the flour until blended.
Pack the cookie dough into a cookie press according to the manufacturer's instructions. Fit with the desired-shaped cookie plate and press the dough out onto ungreased baking sheets or sheets lined with Silpat nonstick liners, spacing the cookies 1 inch apart.
Bake until the cookies are light golden, about 10 minutes. Transfer the cookies to wire racks and let cool. Decorate with colored sugars or icings as desired. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. Makes 40 to 60 cookies.

No I don't. I know I am strange. I never did, not even as a kid. Or nuts for that matter.

Re: Post Good Cookie Recipes
I have had these cookies and they are so buttery and pretty
I found this recipe for them on food network:
Stained Glass Cookies * 1 cup sugar * 2 sticks butter * 2 eggs * 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract * 3 cups all-purpose flour * Assorted brightly colored, hard candies * 1 (2 to 3-inch) star cookie cutter * Special Equipment: 1 small triangle cookie cutter
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a mixer with a paddle attachment, cream the sugar and butter until smooth. Add the egg and the vanilla extract. Mix in the flour. Remove the dough from the mixer and press into a rectangular shape. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Remove from the refrigerator and cut dough into 1/3. Roll out dough, 1 piece at a time to a 3/16-inch thickness. Cut out as many large stars as possible. Repeat with all of the dough. Cut a small triangle out of each the arms on each star.
Place the hard candy, by color, into small plastic bags. Place a towel over the bags and crush the candy with a meat mallet. Place all of the cookies on parchment lined sheet pans. In each of the triangle holes, fill with different colors of crushed hard candy. Bake in the oven for 10 to 15 minutes or until lightly golden brown, and the candy has melted.
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 cup butter, softened 1/2 cup white sugar 1/2 cup peanut butter 1/2 cup packed brown sugar 1 egg, beaten 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 tablespoons milk 40 miniature chocolate covered peanut butter cups, unwrapped and frozen
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F Sift together the flour, salt and baking soda; set aside. Cream together the butter, sugar, peanut butter and brown sugar until fluffy. Beat in the egg, vanilla and milk. Add the flour mixture; mix well. Shape into 40 balls and place each into an ungreased mini muffin pan. Bake at 375 degrees for about 8 minutes. Remove from oven and immediately press a mini peanut butter cup into each ball. Cool and carefully remove from pan.
You can make this with hersey kisses too instead and you can use a cookie sheet with the cupcake papers. A

I’m making them tonight… even though it’s the simplest recipe ever I manage to DESTROY the kitchen every time! By the end of the night there's pretty much Oreo everywhere. It’s bc I’m lazy and try to take shortcuts that end up just making giant messes.
