Preheat to 350ºF.

In a large bowl, or using the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the butter and sugar together until they are light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in the egg and both extracts, then add the flour and salt and mix until the dough comes together.

Use your cookie press manufacturer’s instructions to fill the cookie press. Press the cookies onto a baking sheet lined with a silpat liner or an unlined baking sheet. (You don’t want to use parchment for this recipe, as the cookies will not stick to it when pressed.)

Bake the cookies until they are just lightly browned on the edges, about 7-8 minutes.

*If you want to color the cookies, add a couple drops of gel food coloring to the butter and sugar mixture before adding the flour.

*To decorate the cookies, the sprinkles will stick better if added before baking. I will sometimes take a small spray bottle that is reserved for food to get the top a bit damp, which will help the sprinkles to stick. Just be aware that the sprinkles will sometimes bleed. Colored sugar will stick easier than sprinkles, as well.
