Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Step 2

Mix butter, sugar, egg yolks, and vanilla in a large bowl until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes. Stir in flour by hand until dough is smooth and pliable.

Step 3

Spoon dough into a cookie press fitted with desired template. Press dough onto ungreased baking sheets, spacing about 1 inch apart. Sprinkle with colored sugars.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven until set and lightly golden around the edges, 7 to 10 minutes. Cool cookies on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
