Christmas Spritz Cookies
- 1 ½ cups butter softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar

- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 pinch salt optional
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoon milk
- 1 teaspoon clear vanilla extract

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!
