Spritz Cookies
Spritz cookies require specialty equipment in the form of a cookie press. But since people are always getting rid of baking equipment, it’s pretty easy to find one for cheap or borrow one. These cookies are actually the world’s best excuse to use lots and lots of sprinkles. Mom used to make these for Twelfth Night parties, so her recipe contains instructions for multiplying, but these quantities are for a regular sized batch.
INGREDIENTS 2 ½ c flour ½ t baking powder 1 c butter ¾ c sugar ½ t salt 1 egg 1 t vanilla extract

DIRECTIONS Cream butter and sugar. Add salt, egg and vanilla and mix again. Slowly add flour; dough will be stiff. Load dough into cookie press and press out cookie shapes. Decorate with sprinkles, dragées, red hot candies or colored sanding sugar. Bake at 375⁰ for 7-9 minutes. Watch them carefully towards the end because depending on the shape, they will bake at different rates.
