How to Make Snow Flake Spritz Cookies

Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter, 4 ounces cream cheese, and ¾ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in 1 large egg yolk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 teaspoon orange zest.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fill your cookie press with the dough and pipe snowflake shapes onto an ungreased baking sheet.
Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Check for doneness at 12 minutes; cookies should be very slightly browned and set. Bake for another 1-3 minutes if needed.
Carefully remove the cookies from the baking sheet and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, decorate with sprinkles, frosting, or enjoy them plain!
Store in an airtight container, layering with foil or waxed paper between cookie layers if desired. These cookies freeze beautifully!
