My wife is from New York City and whenever we go up and visit we always get a pound of butter cookies. They are delicious and unlike most cookies that you get everywhere else. They are light, flaky and have a slight almond flavor. They are ridiculously awesome. The other day, the great people from Zulay Kitchen offered for me to try one of their cookie presses. I jumped at the chance since I have been wanting to try my hand at butter cookies. I knew I needed some help, though, because I am horrible at using a piping bag. I figured the cookie press would be the perfect tool to make excellent little butter cookies.
