How to Make Butter Spritz Cookies
- Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter and ¾ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon almond extract.
- Gradually blend in 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Divide the dough into three equal portions.
- 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.
- Fill your cookie press with one color at a time, or combine colors in the press for a rainbow effect.
- Press the dough onto ungreased baking sheets, forming desired shapes (stars, trees, etc.).
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 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.
- Decorate as desired with sprinkles, icing, or other fun toppings (optional).
