One of the most iconic of holiday sweets, spritz are bite-size buttery cookies with vanilla and almond. Ingredients:
2 sticks (8 ounces) unsalted butter |
1 cup confectioners' sugar |
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract |
1/2 teaspoon almond extract |
1 large egg |
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
sprinkles, for garnish |
Directions:
1. Special Equipment: cookie press (a.k.a spritz gun)
2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Beat the butter and sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add the vanilla and almond extracts and the egg and mix to incorporate; don't worry if the mixture seems to separate.
3. Sift together the flour and baking powder and add to the creamed butter. Mix until combined. Using a cookie press, press the cookies onto ungreased baking sheets. Top with sprinkles of your choice. Bake until firm but not yet browning, 6 to 8 minutes. After a few minutes, move cookies to a rack and cool.
