Chocolate-Dipped Spritz Cookies

• 1 cup butter, softened
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 2 1/4 cups flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 11 11 ounces white candy coating or 11 ounces milk chocolate confectionary coating
• nuts (optional) or candy sprinkles (optional)

1. Cream butter and sugar in mixing bowl.
2. Beat in egg and vanilla.
3. Combine flour, salt and baking soda, gradually add to creamed mixture.
4. Using a cookie press, press dough onto ungreased cookie sheet.
5. Bake at 375u0b0 for 7-9 minutes.
6. Original recipe says not to let brown but I prefer it when the edges are slightly brown, it makes the bottoms nice and crispy.
7. Remove to cooling rack and let cool completely.
8. Melt confectionary coating and dip each cookie half way and sprinkle with finely ground nuts or sprinkles.
9. I usually do half semi sweet chocolate and half white chocolate and sprinkle with holiday colored non periels.
10. Let harden on wax paper.
