Wintery Spritz Cookies

Wintery Spritz Cookies

Comments (0) ↓
They fit perfectly in my new little sweets canister. Kristina got it for me for Christmas it says: Treats by Angela. I almost forgot about Spritz! The lovely little bite-size cookies that are a cinch to make (if you have a cookie press of course)! Last year I think I made them right after Christmas as well and decorated them with pink sugar. Today I had the great idea of giving them a winter theme and adding the little sugar bead to the center...so cute!

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.

Spritz Instructions

Must own spritz/cookie press

  1. 1) Cream together powdered sugar and butter until smooth.
  2. 2) In a small bowl, whisk together eggs and extracts.
  3. 3) Add egg mix to sugar mix and stir until completely combined.
  4. 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. 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. 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.
