Spritz Cookie Recipe image

This recipe came straight off the box of my Wilton Spritz Cookie Press; it works very well with different types of cookie presses, too (like Mirro, etc).

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 c butter, softened
1 c granulated sugar
1 egg
2 Tbsp milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp almond extract
4 c all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
my personal note: these are great with about 2 tsp. of fine lemon zest in the batter.

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • 2. In a large bowl, thoroughly cream together butter and sugar. Add egg, milk, vanilla and almond extracts; beat well.
  • 3. In a medium bowl, stir together flour and baking powder; gradually add to creamed mixture, mixing well to make a smooth dough.
  • 4. Do not chill! Place dough into cooking press and press cookies onto UNgreased cookie sheet. Note: I find it easier to get the dough into the press if I roll it into a 'snake' in a narrow-enough dimension to just lower the 'snake' into the barrel of the cookie press, and then push the dough all the way down to the bottom.
  • 5. Bake at 400 degrees for 6 - 8 minutes. Remove cookies from sheet and cool on cooling rack.
  • 6. Makes 6 dozen cookies.
