How to Make Almond Spritz Press Cookies
- Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) shortening and 1 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 1 large egg. In a separate bowl, sift together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon almond extract. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Stir in a few drops of green and/or pink food coloring (optional).
- Fill your cookie press with the dough.
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Pipe cookies onto the prepared baking sheets using your desired cookie press tip (Christmas tree and wreath shapes recommended!).

- Bake for 6-8 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
