If you’re looking for the perfect cookie to bake these holidays, you need this recipe for spritz cookies. Not too sweet and perfectly buttery, spritz cookies are fun to make and delicious to eat.

Ingredients

  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 1/2 cups butter softened at room temp
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 to 1 teaspoon butter flavoring

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, place the butter and sugar and beat with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add egg, milk, and flavorings next and beat again until well combined. Add in flour and baking powder and beat once more until a good dough is formed (will only take a minute or so), scraping down sides as needed.
  2. Place dough in a cookie press and add a stencil to the bottom according to cookie press directions. Pipe out onto an ungreased cookie sheet and sprinkle with colored sugars. Bake at 375 for 8 to 10 minutes or until just lightly browned around the edges. Repeat until all dough is used.
  3. *Most spritz cookie dough has to be refrigerated to firm up before use but this one doesn’t.
