Method:

1. Preheat oven to 400°F. In 3-quart mixer bowl combine butter, sugar, egg and flavoring.

2. Beat at medium speed, scraping sides of bowl often, until light and fluffy. Reduce to low speed (or by hand); stir in flour and salt until well combined. Dough can be divided and tinted if desired.

3. If dough is too soft, chill for easier handling. Force dough through a cookie press onto un-greased baking sheet. Decorate with colored sugar or cinnamon candies, etc.

4. Bake near center of 400°F oven for 8 to 14 minutes or until cookies are light golden around edges.

Tip: For green or pink cookies, add 3 to 4 drops green or red food coloring.
