 Buttery
Spritz cookies are my family's favorite Christmas cookie. My daughters love to decorate
these goodies with green and red sugar crystals before they go into the oven. These are
always the first cookies to vanish out of the cookie tin during the holidays.
You need to have a cookie press to make these cookies. The press costs about ten dollars
and can easily be bought at your nearby kitchen shop or Target (Wal-Mart has them too).
This recipe makes seven dozen cookies.
What you need:
- 1 cup of powdered sugar
- 1 cup of margarine or butter, softened
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla
- 1/2 teaspoon of almond extract
- 2 1/3 cups of all purpose flour
(I like to use the unbleached kind)
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
What you do:
- Heat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. In a large bowl,
combined powered sugar and margarine, blend well. Stir in remaining ingredients; blend
well.
- Fill cookie press with a small amount of dough into desired
shapes onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Here's where you can decorate the cookies with
sprinkles and colored sugar crystals. Bake at 400 degrees for 6-8 minutes or until set but
not browned. Immediately remove from cookie sheet.

Hallo Mom to Mom Recipe Library
We are having a go at your Buttery Spritz Cookies here in Australia. Back home in Germany,
some 40 years back, our parents always did the Christmas-cookie-baking a long time in
advance.
Santa's Chocolate Sleigh Bell Cookies
  This week's Dessert of the Week features craft author Willie
Ripple's delicious recipe. These cookies, along with hundreds of other terrific Christmas
ideas can be found in her latest best selling book Christmas Parties What Do I Do?. It's
great fun to poke each cookie ball with a toothpick, then dip into the chocolate mixture.
Watch their eyes as you hold the cookie up over the double boiler to let the excess
chocolate drip off. Make a large supply, because they will go fast.
