Instructions: Preheat oven to 400 deg f. In a large bowl, combine butter and sugar. Beat until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. With wooden spoon, mix in flour until blended. Divide dough into 3 parts. Place one part in a bowl with red coloring. Repeat with another third. Keep one third uncolored. On a floured surface roll each piece of dough into a rope. Place rope into a cookie press with your favorite disk. Press cookies onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 400 deg f for about 7 minutes or until set. Cool on racks.

Makes about 6 dozen cookies.
