As a child, this is one of the cookies I distinctly remember making with my mom. We dyed them different colors and doused them in sugar. It was a wonderful tradition I looked forward to year after year. In fact last year she gave me her spritz maker and I was delighted! It’s super old and works great! This recipe is the one she’s been using forever too.
Ingredients
Spritz Ingredients
1 c. unsalted butter (at room temp)
2 egg yolks
1 1/2 c. powdered sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 tsp. almond extract
2 1/2 c. flour
1/2 tsp. salt
Garnish Ingredients
White and blue decorative sugar
edible silver shimmer powder
sugar beads
Instructions
Spritz Instructions
Must own spritz/cookie press
1) Cream together powdered sugar and butter until smooth.
2) In a small bowl, whisk together eggs and extracts.
3) Add egg mix to sugar mix and stir until completely combined.
4) Add in salt and flour and stir until a dough forms. I often use my hands to make sure all the dough is binded together.
5) Add cookie dough to press and position press firmly on ungreased cookie press. Crank one rotation and lift up to form each spritz cookie.
6) Place sugar bead in center of cookie, sprinkle with mix of sugars and shimmer and bake at 350 for 6 1/2 -8 minutes. Watch carefully a minute to long and they will burn! I put mine in for 6 1/2-7 mins.
