Christmas Spritz Cookies
Ingredients
Christmas Spritz Cookies
- 1 ½ cups butter softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 pinch salt optional
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoon milk
- 1 teaspoon clear vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon almond extract
- gel food coloring optional
Instructions
Christmas Spritz Cookies
- Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
- Using an electric mixer, beat the butter until smooth. Add the sugar and mix until light and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, sift the flour, baking soda, and salt together. Set aside.
- With the mixer on low, add in the egg, followed by the milk, vanilla, and almond.
- Gradually add in the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
- Form the cookie dough into logs and use with your Wilton cookie press.
- “Click” each cookie onto an aluminum baking sheet (not parchment paper and NOT non-stick). Bake cookies for 10 to 12 minutes, or when the edges just barley begin to brown. Remove the cookies from the baking sheet within 5 minutes or they may stick!
- Decorate as desired with cookie icing and sprinkles!
