Spritz Cookie Press Recipe
A melt in your mouth almond-flavored cookie that pairs perfectly with your coffee or tea in the morning. These shortbread-type cookies easily feed through a cookie press creating a perfectly-shaped cookie every time.
Equipment
- 1 Cookie Press
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups flour, sifted
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1 cup butter (2 sticks)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp almond extract
- food coloring (optional)
- sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Sift the flour and baking powder together and set aside.
- Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes). Beat in egg and almond extract.
- Blend in dry ingredients. Tint as desired with food coloring.
- Fill cookie press. Form cookies on a clean, ungreased baking sheet. (Pro Tip: It helps to wipe off the cookie sheet after each use before putting the next batch on—and make sure your cookie sheet is cooled).
- Decorate with sprinkles or candies if you’d like. Bake at 350 F for 7 minutes or until the edges are brown. Remove immediately to wire racks to cool.
