    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!

    Lastly, Wilton is giving away a fabulous prize package including some of their trusted products and a signed copy of my book, Layered.  Be sure to check it out on their Instagram page!  I’ll be selecting a winner on Thursday.  Good Luck!!

    A HUGE thank you to Wilton Cakes for hosting my take-over and supporting my book!
