ORANGE SPRITZ COOKIES

Steps:

• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the shortening and granulated sugar, mixing on medium speed for about 30 seconds.

• Pack the dough into a cookie press. Place the face of the press firmly down on an ungreased baking sheet. Press out a cookie. Space the cookies about 1 inch apart. Decorate with colored sugar.
• Bake for 8 minutes in the center of the oven, or until the cookie edges are firm but not brown. Cool on the baking sheet for a couple of minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
• The key to perfect spritz cookies is mastering a cookie press. Try the Wilton Comfort Grip Cookie Press (www.wilton.com). The rule: a single press, a pretty cookie. (A double press makes a messy blob.) Test-press a few cookies to get the knack of it, and to get the dough moving. Then you're off and pressing!
• If the dough is too soft (if it's a very warm day, this may happen), put it in the fridge for about 30 minutes to firm it up. But please note, under normal conditions, this dough does not call for chilling.
• Also, make sure your baking sheets aren't warped. If you're baking sheets aren't flat, your cookie press will rebel.
