FAQ:
1. Why are my cookies melted or flattened in the oven while baking?
Precision of the ingredients is very important. I do recommend using a weighing scale to get precise measurement of the ingredients. Although I’ve given the cup measurements but that’s the last resort for those who really do not have a weighing scale.
2. Can I refrigerate the dough after piping so that the shape will not be flattened in the oven?
There is no need of chilling the piped dough before baking. I baked mine straight away and they don’t melt or flattened in the oven. With that being said, your measurement of the ingredients must be precise.
Ingredients:
200g (¾ cup + 2 tbsp) unsalted butter, softened
100g (½ cup) caster sugar
50g [3½ tbsp] heavy cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ tsp salt
220g [1¾ cup] cake flour
28g [3 tbsp] cornstarch
3g [2 tsp] green tea powder
4g [2 tsp] cocoa powder
Piping tip: 2C
80g white chocolate, melted
40g milk chocolate, melted
Coloured sprinkles
Instructions:
1. Preheat oven at 170°C/340°F.
2. In a large bowl, add the room temp (or softened) butter. Add sugar and salt. Mix them using a spatula so that the sugar the fly out. Then switch to an electric mixer. Mix on high speed for at least 1-2 minutes or until creamy, pale and fluffy.
3. Add the heavy cream and vanilla extract. Mix till combined.
4. Sift the cake flour and cornstarch in 2 batches. Fold in using a spatula. Sift the remaining dry ingredients until the flour disappear. Pay attention on the consistency of the dough. It will be soft and smooth and a little sticky and wet too.
5. Divide the dough into 3 bowl. I do recommend using a weighing scale because the consistency is very important for piping or spritz dough.
6. For the second and third bowl, add in the green tea and cocoa powder respectively. You may also add green and brown food colouring into respective dough colour to make them more vibrant. This is definitely optional.
7. Transfer the doughs into a piping bag respectively. Double up the piping bag if yours is thin like mine. A thin piping bag will cause breaking of the bag. Also it will ease your piping.
8. Bake in preheated oven at 170°C/340°F for about 15-17 min. For 15min, the cookies might be softer than 17min bake, so it really depending on how crispy you desire your cookies to be.
9. Let it cool completely.
10. Melt some milk chocolate and white chocolate for the side deco. Dip one side of the cookies and sprinkle with some colourful sprinkles.
11. Cookies are ready to serve.

Raspberry Thumbprint Valentine’s Spritz Cookies
In this video, Susie the Disk Designer shows you step by step how to make & decorate Raspberry Thumbprint Valentine’s Spritz Cookies with a cookie press. Full recipe and link to photo blog below!
**information about our 2019 Re-Opening and new disks and press!**
Our re-launched website with over 200 cookie press disks in 28 themes plus our new cookie press!
RECIPE:
Raspberry Thumbprint Spritz Cookies
1 1/2 cups (3 sticks) butter, softened (not melted) (I recommend Land O Lakes brand as I know it creams well. I have had trouble with some generic butters not creaming properly and making the dough hard to press)
1/2 cup plus 3 Tablespoons granulated sugar
1/3 cup canned Solo® Raspberry Cake and Pastry Filling
1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
1/2 Tablespoon raspberry extract
1 egg
4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
Gel food coloring (NOT liquid)- I used Wilton® in pink and violet
Preheat oven to 400°F.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt and set aside. Cream the butter well. Perfect spritz cookies begin with super-creamed butter. I use an electric mixer and set it on the highest setting. Pretend you're making buttercream frosting. Add the sugar and cream it again. Add the raspberry pastry filling and cream it again. Your dough will have a slightly pink look at this time. Now add the gel food coloring to make a nice pinky-purply-raspberry color. I dipped the tips of knives in the gel- 2 in pink and 2 in the purple, wiping it into the dough until i had a good color. Use separate knives for each dip as you don't want to contaminate your gel colors with dough. Then add the extracts and egg, creaming once more. Add the flour mixture and combine on slow speed until evenly incorporated and a soft dough forms. Perfect spritz dough has a soft malleable texture that is not too sticky or too stiff.
Remember you can add water a tablespoon at a time to stiff dough, or add flour a tablespoon at a time to sticky dough to troubleshoot. Press with a cookie press.
DECORATING: Use the pastry filling and decorating tips to add the raspberry filling, then add nonpareils, etc. as decorations. The photo blog of this recipe shows closeup pictures and a written discussion of the techniques, plus dough and pressing troubleshooting!
Bake for 6 to 10 minutes. Check early and often as spritz cookies brown quickly. Let sit 3 or 4 minutes and move to cooking rack. Makes about 110 cookies.
