Spritz Cookies Recipe

Spritz cookies are one of those classic cookie recipes. I love spritz cookies. I always have and always will. It’s such a simple cookie but there is something about the simplicity of it that I like. That, and it’s the perfect shortbread type cookie.

One of the great things about spritz cookies is that they freeze perfectly. This means, you can make your Christmas spritz cookies early in November when you have a free afternoon. There’s nothing like being ahead of the baking game!

I was so excited to receive a cookie press for our wedding so I could make spritz cookies. If you don’t have a cookie press, there are many options available in a variety of price points. If you love spritz cookies, this is an investment you will want to make.

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 1/2 cups flour

Directions:

In a mixer, cream butter with sugar. Add egg and vanilla. Add flour, one cup at a time until dough is mixed well. The dough will be soft but do not refrigerate.

Fill your spritz cookie press with dough. Follow the directions on your particular cookie press to make your  spritz cookies. Press them onto a cookie sheet, 1 inch part. Decorate with sprinkles or colored sugar, if desired.

Bake cookies at 375 degrees for 11 to 13 minutes or until firm. Cool cookies on the cookie sheet before removing to the cooling rack. This recipe yields 6 dozen cookies. Store cookies in an airtight container in the freezer.
