How to Make Cocoa Cherry Spritz Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter until light and fluffy.
  3. Gradually add 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, beating until well combined.
  4. Beat in 2 large egg yolks, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  5. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and ½ teaspoon cherry extract.
  6. Gradually add ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, mixing until fully incorporated.
  7. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour and ½ teaspoon baking soda.
  8. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  9. If using a cookie press, fill the press and pipe cookies onto the prepared baking sheets. If not using a cookie press, roll dough into 1-inch balls and place them onto the prepared baking sheets.
  10. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops are slightly dry. Do not overbake.
  11. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
