Spritz Cookies

A classic for Christmas time, you can't go wrong with the Spritz cookie! It's probably on the top of the list for easy cookie making.  You will need a cookie press. Wilton makes them, but wherever you can find an electric one, or an old fashioned one like we used, those are the two best kinds.  We came home and bought one of the manual ones from Walmart, but I would save your frustration and spend a little more on an electric press. It got jammed and the lid kept coming off so I spent a good couple hours in the kitchen making just one batch of these!!!


 1.) Mix all the dry ingredients together (powdered sugar, salt, and flour) in mixer and slowly add in wet ingredients (egg yolks, butter, almond extract and vanilla extract).
2.) Place the dough into Spritz maker, and screw the top on. You will have to screw it so that the dough is all pushed to the tip and your ready to start.
3.) Using baking sheets, place the Spritz maker onto the sheet and lift after you feel a little pressure. You will also be able to see the dough come out as in the picture above.
5.) Decorate with candy sprinkles.
4.) Bake at 350 for 8-10 minutes until slightly golden.
