CREAM CHEESE SPRITZ

Cream Cheese Spritz image

A hint of orange and cinnamon highlights these Christmastime classics. I like to add colorful sprinkles before baking them. The recipe is from a booklet that came with a cookie press in the 1950s...and I still have the press! -Sarah Bedia, Lake Jackson, Texas
