Cream together butter and sugar in a large bowl until creamy. Add in wet ingredients and mix well. Add in flour and salt and mix to combine. Color the dough if you wish to do so or leave it plain. **DO NOT REFRIGERATE DOUGH** Put into a cookie press and press out onto an ungreased, room temp cookie sheet. Decorate if desired with colored sugar, dragees, nonpareils, sprinkles, etc. Bake in a preheated 350*F oven for 9-11 minutes or until done but not browned.
