Spritz Cookies with Mini Peanut Butter Cups

Spritz Cookies are buttery and tender, made with either a press or a pastry bag. A cookie press was gifted to me about a year ago, so I decided to finally put it to use.

This exact cookie press can be found here. 

What you'll need: 

- 2 1/4 cup all purpose flour

- 1/2 tsp salt

- 3/4 cup sugar

- 1 cup unsalted butter

- 2 egg yolks

- 1 tsp vanilla extract.

- Unwrapped Rolos or Mini Peanut Butter cups 

What to do: 

- Preheat oven to 350 F. 

- Sift together flour and salt.

- Cream butter and sugar until creamy . Add egg yolks and vanilla

- Stir in the flour, beat well.

- Chill for about 10 minutes in the fridge. (This is VERY important, cold dough makes better cookies) 

-  Push dough through cookie press onto an ungreased cookie sheet. 

- Bake for about 8-10 minutes, depending on your oven. 

- Watch these cookies carefully, they bake very quickly. 

- After removing from oven, immediately place the mini peanut butter cups into the center. (Gently, cookies are fragile) 

- Allow to cool completely before storing and enjoy!
