These yummy spritz cookies are said to be our former first-lady's favorite spritz recipe. They are just a little different from the usual, although I personally cannot pinpoint why. Probably just the way all the good ingredients combine. But they are delicious and you'll like them, too. This recipe makes a lot of cookies; I'm guessing at the yield. Ingredients:
1 lb butter, room temperature (no substitutes) |
1 cup sugar |
1 large egg |
2 large egg yolks |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
4 1/2 cups flour |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350° with rack in center of oven.
2. Cream the butter well, adding the sugar slowly, then cream the two well.
3. Beat in the egg and 2 yolks. Add the vanilla. Please note that you can substitute 1/2 teaspoon vanilla plus 1/8 teaspoon almond extract for all vanilla.
4. Slowly add the flour, mixing well after each addition. This will be a nice, soft dough.
5. Fill a cooky press and press into desired shapes on a ungreased cookie sheets.
6. Bake in preheated oven for 10-12 minutes.
