Spritz Cookies
1 cup butter
1/2 cup sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 teaspoons cinnamon 1 egg
2/4 teaspoon salt 2 1/4 cups flour sifted
Let butter soften slightly at room temperature. Cream the butter until white and fluffy. Add the
sugar a little at a time, beating until the granules of sugar are no longer felt, and the mixture is
light and fluffy. Add flavoring and egg. Blend thoroughly. Add the flour and salt, gently with a
metal spoon, a little at a time, until the dough is soft and workable. Pack dough into a cookie
press or a pastry bag, using any pattern you prefer. Lightly butter baking sheets. Press out dough.
Bake in a preheated 375-degree oven for 10 mins, or until cookie edges are a light golden brown.
Serving Ideas: Instead of adding vanilla extract try almond extract OR the rind of 1/2 lemon.
Yields: 24 Traditionally served in Germany at Christmas
