Butter Spritz Cookies

Ingredients
  • 340 grams softened unsalted butter (65F-70F)
  • 142 grams powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 egg (50 grams)
  • 1 egg yolk (20 grams)
  • 20 grams vanilla extract
  • 454 grams cake flour, sifted
  • Baking jam, as needed
Directions
  1. In a 5 quart mixing bowl, place the butter and powdered sugar.
  2. With a paddle, cream very well on medium-high speed. It will have the consistency of a very light buttercream, will lighten in color, and with increase in volume. Scrape down intermittently.
  3. Add the eggs and yolks 25% at a time on medium speed until emulsified, scraping after each addition. The dough should now have the consistency of a meringue buttercream. It should look glossy and creamy.
  4. Stream in the vanilla and mix on low speed.
  5. Add the cake flour all at once to the bowl. Mix on low speed until combined. Do NOT overmix.
  6. Place the mixture in a piping bag with an 824 star tip.
  7. Pipe 2-inch rosettes on a parchment-lined baking sheet. 
  8. Using your finger, make a depression in the center of each cookie.
  9. Pipe jam into the depression. Do not overfill.
  10. Bake in a 350F oven for 12 minutes or a 325F convection for approximately 9 minutes. Check for doneness by sliding the cookie around on the sheet. If it's able to slide, it's ready
Yield: 4 dozen
