CHOCOLATE SPRITZ COOKIE RECIPE


Ingredients
4 oz unsalted butter (1 stick – soften)
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 egg yolk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoon cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
a large pinch of salt
Instructions
Cream soften butter and sugar in a mixing bowl with the whisk attachment until light and fluffy. Add egg yolk and vanilla extract and beat until combined.
Add flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt to a small bowl and mix to distribute evenly. With the mixer on the lowest speed, slowly add the flour mixture to the stand mixer bowl and mix until thoroughly combined. The dough should be soft and easy to handle.
Fill the cookie press with the cookie dough and line three baking sheets with silicone baking mats or parchment paper. Hold the cookie press perpendicular to the prepared baking sheet and press out the cookies, spacing about 1 - 2 inches apart.
