 Categories: Cookies, Snacks, Desserts
      Yield: 84 Servings
 
  1 1/2 c  Butter; softened
      1 c  Granulated sugar
      1 ts Baking powder
      1 lg Egg
      1 tb Vanilla bean paste
  3 1/2 c  All-purpose flour
           Quick Vanilla Sugar *
 
  Set oven @ 375ºF/190ºC.
  
  In a large mixing bowl beat butter with an electric mixer
  on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Add granulated
  sugar and baking powder. Beat until combined, scraping
  sides of bowl occasionally. Beat in egg and vanilla bean
  paste until combined. Beat in as much of the flour as you
  can with the mixer. Using a wooden spoon, stir in any
  remaining flour.
  
  Pack unchilled dough into a cookie press fitted with a
  star plate or other plate. Force dough through the cookie
  press onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Sprinkle cookies
  with Quick Vanilla Sugar.
  
  Bake about 8 minutes or until edges are firm but not
  brown. Transfer cookies to a wire rack; cool.
  
  TO STORE: Layer cookies between sheets of waxed paper in
  an airtight container; cover. Store at room temperature
  for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
  
  * TO MAKE QUICK VANILLA SUGAR, split 1 vanilla bean in
  half lengthwise with a small sharp knife. Using the tip of
  the knife, scrape seeds from vanilla bean. Working in
  batches, in a food processor combine 4 cups sugar and
  vanilla seeds. Cover and process until combined. Transfer
  to a sterilized 1 quart jar; secure lid. Use immediately
  or store in a cool dry place indefinitely.
