How to Make Spritz Cookies

  1. Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter and ¾ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  2. Beat in 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon almond extract.
  3. Gradually add 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour and ½ teaspoon salt, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. If desired, divide the dough in half. Gently knead a few drops of green food coloring into one portion of the dough.
  5. Cover and chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or until firm enough to pipe easily.
  6. Fill a cookie press with the chilled dough. Press cookies onto ungreased baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
  7. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5-8 minutes, or until the edges are very lightly golden brown.
  8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 1-2 minutes before carefully transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
