Spritz Cookies
Crisp and buttery, classic spritz cookies taste like a cross between sugar cookies and shortbread. Each bite melts in your mouth, and it's far too easy to keep eating one after another!
☞ Find the full recipe here:
These cookies are made with five basic ingredients, and you can add food coloring to make them as festive or simple as you'd like. Colored sanding sugar finishes off the cookies and adds a delightful crunch that complements the buttery cookie dough perfectly. They are incredibly buttery and crisp like shortbread, but they melt in your mouth just like soft sugar cookies. No holiday dessert table is complete without a heaping plate of these festive spritz cookies!

My Favourite Butter Cookies for Christmas | Spritz Cookies
My Favourite Butter Cookies for Christmas | Spritz Cookies – I know I’m early for a Christmas recipe this year because I’m so excited about Christmas. I can’t wait to share these cute looking and scrumptious cookies with you. I understand everyone is busy during this season. These cookies are fairly easy to make, you don’t need a lot of ingredients. There is no need of special tools but a piping tip and piping bags. I hope you’re give it a try to make these wonderful cookies with me. They are awesome for giveaway and very good shelf life too which can last for at least 3-4 weeks. Wishing you a Happy Thanksgiving and a Merry Christmas in advance!
Enjoy! FULL RECIPE:
FAQ: Why my cookies flattened while baking in the oven? It might be due to the butter's condition. The consistency is very important if you're piping these cookies. Solution: You can fold in 1 or 2 tbsp of flour, then check if the consistency is slightly thickened. (Do not over add the flour, as they should stay a little wet and sticky as shown in the video.
Can I refrigerate the cookie dough so that they won’t flattened in the oven?
There is no need to refrigerate, just bake straight away as soon as you’re done piping. The cookies will not melt down or flattened as long as the consistency of the dough is right.

Spritz Cookies (Classic Version) - Joyofbaking.com
Recipe here: Stephanie Jaworski of Joyofbaking.com demonstrates how to make Spritz Cookies. Spritz Cookies, also known as Swedish Butter Cookies or Pressed Butter Cookies, are a very popular Christmas cookie, not only in Scandinavia, but also here in North America. They have a lovely sweet and buttery vanilla flavor with a texture that is tender crisp. As their name implies, Spritz is German for spritzen meaning to squirt, which is exactly what is done with this cookie dough. By that I mean we make these cookies using a cookie press (gun).
