Strassburgare Recipe
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
- 1 1/2 tablespoons vanilla sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup potato flour
- 1 drop red food coloring, or as needed (optional)
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
- With an electric mixer, beat the butter and confectioners' sugar together in a bowl until smooth and creamy; beat in the vanilla sugar.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the flour with potato flour.
- Stir the flour mixture into the butter mixture, about 1/4 cup at a time, until all the flour is mixed in.
- Stir in the food coloring until the dough is evenly colored.
- Place the dough into a cookie press fitted with a decorative tip.
- Press out 1 1/2-inch cookies onto an ungreased baking sheet.
- Bake cookies in the preheated oven until the bottoms are just lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before removing to finish cooling on wire racks.
