With an electric mixer, beat the butter and confectioners' sugar together in a bowl until smooth and creamy; beat in the vanilla sugar.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk the flour with potato flour.
Step 4
Stir the flour mixture into the butter mixture, about 1/4 cup at a time, until all the flour is mixed in.
Step 5
Stir in the food coloring until the dough is evenly colored.
Step 6
Place the dough into a cookie press fitted with a decorative tip.
Step 7
Press out 1 1/2-inch cookies onto an ungreased baking sheet.
