Delicious Spritz Cookies

Ingredients

Don’t be scared of the list; it’s just a few simple items that come together to create cookie magic!

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Optional: colored sugar or sprinkles for decoration

Instructions

Now let’s get down to business! Follow these steps to bring your cookies to life:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your baking sheets with parchment paper because we’re not trying to create another kitchen disaster here!
  2. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar together until it’s light and fluffy. This usually takes about 2-3 minutes. Go ahead and channel your inner pastry chef, mix it up!
  3. Add the vanilla and almond extract and mix until combined. Oh, that aroma is going to be your new favorite scent!
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Gradually add this dry mix to the wet mixture. Don’t rush it; take your time and let it all blend into a creamy dough.
  5. Now comes the fun part—grab your cookie press! Fill it with dough and put it onto your prepared baking sheets. You can make fun designs like wreaths, hearts, or whatever else your imagination conjures up!
  6. If you want, sprinkle some colored sugar or sprinkles on top before baking for that extra pizzazz.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  8. Let them cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

And there you have it! Gorgeous Spritz Cookies that not only look fabulous but taste even better. Enjoy sharing (or not sharing) these delightful treats with friends and family. Happy baking!
