Butter Cookies

Preheat the oven to 375ºF. Using your mixer and the paddle attachment, mix the butter and sugar until creamy in texture. Add the eggs and vanilla, mix until combined. Place the flour and cinnamon in a large bowl. Now add a large spoonful at a time of flour to the butter mixture. Mix until combined. You should be able to shape the dough into a ball in your hands without it being too sticky. It will be buttery.

Now, scoop your dough into a cookie press using a star-shaped disk. Press the cookies onto an unbuttered cookie sheet. Bake until lightly golden, about 15 minutes. Baking time will vary by oven. Watch them, as they cook rather quickly. Remove from the oven and let them cool a minute before removing them from the cookie sheets. You can continue cooling them on parchment paper over your counter.

When done, place them in your container and dust all over with powdered sugar.
