Cookie press cookies

I own a SAWA cookie press thanks to mom giving up ownership of her one to me *YAY MOM!***

Basic Ingredients:
125g Rama Margarine
1 cup caster sugar
2 cups flour
1 jumbo egg
2 tsp vanilla essence

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 200C
2. Cream together softened marg and sugar on a high speed in the mixer.
3. Add in egg, vanilla essence and any extras while still going at decent speed.
4. This should reach a stage where it looks like thick cream - and taste good.
5. Add flour in little bits until machine starts to complain or all flour is used - mine is not fond of stiff mixtures.
6. Mix with spoon and/or hands until it forms a dough and it thoroughly mixed.
7. If dough seems to gooey - put it in the fridge for a bit.
8. Select cookie press shape, place dough in cookie press and press out cookies.
9. Bake for 6-10 minutes until golden around the edges.

Depending on shape-plate used this makes upwards of 4 dozen cookies.

Notes:
I enjoy spiced cookies so I often add cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and ground cloves to the mix (portions as I feel like it.) This also works well enough with syrup but you may need more flour. Does not work well with "bits" like chocolate chips, sliced cherries and chopped nuts as these can't fit through the press.

Also can be used for "fingerprint" cookies if no cookie press available.
