Mint Kiss Spritz Cookies
2/3 cup sugar
1 cup butter -- softened
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons vanilla
1/4 teaspoon mint extract
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
green food coloring
60 Hershey's Kisses
Heat oven to 400F. In large mixer bowl
combine sugar, butter, egg, salt, vanilla, and mint extract. Beat at medium
speed, scraping bowl often, until mixture is light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes.
Add flour. Beat at low speed, scraping bowl often, until well mixed, 2 to 3
minutes. Mix in green food coloring, adding just enough to achieve the desired
color. If dough is too soft, cover and refrigerate until firm enough to form
cookies, 30 to 45 minutes. Place dough in cookie press. Form desired shapes 1
inch apart on cookie sheets. Bake for 6 to 8 minutes or until edges are lightly
browned. Immediately after removing cookies from oven place one Hershey's kiss
on each cookie.
