How to Make Butter Spritz Cookies

  1. Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter and ¾ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  2. Beat in 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon almond extract.
  3. Gradually blend in 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  4. Divide the dough into three equal portions.
  5. Add a few drops of red food coloring to one portion, a few drops of green food coloring to another, and leave the remaining portion plain.
  6. Fill your cookie press with one color at a time, or combine colors in the press for a rainbow effect.
  7. Press the dough onto ungreased baking sheets, forming desired shapes (stars, trees, etc.).
  8. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Decorate as desired with sprinkles, icing, or other fun toppings (optional).
