No holiday dessert table is complete without Spritz Cookies. For truly authentic Spritz Cookies, be sure to invest in a cookie press to get that oh-so-perfect shape.
How to Make It
Step 1
Preheat oven to 375°. Beat butter and sugar at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy. Add eggs and almond extract, beating until blended.
Step 2
Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl; add to butter mixture gradually, beating at low speed until blended. Cover and chill 30 minutes.
Step 3
Press dough into desired shapes on ungreased baking sheets using a cookie press according to manufacturer's directions. Garnish, if desired.
Step 4
Bake 7 to 9 minutes or until set but not browned; let cool 3 minutes on baking sheets. Transfer to wire racks to cool completely.

A very good spritz cookie dough recipe. I've tried lots and the trick is really to find the best temperature for your press. This recipe has almond extract in it which I find essential to a spritz cookie. Will be marking this one down for next Christmas too!
goofed up and they were still great
