Easter Spritz Cookies

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Put two cookie sheets into the fridge to chill. In large mixing bowl, beat butter and cream cheese on medium speed until well combined.

Step 2

Add sugar and beat 2 minutes until fluffy. Add egg yolk, vanilla and almond extract and mix well. Add flour 1 cup at a time and keep mixing until it forms a dough.

Step 3

Fill cookie press with dough and press onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 8-11 minutes or until just beginning to turn golden around the bottom outside edges.

Step 4

Remove from oven and press an Easter M&M into the center of each flower. It’s important to complete this last step quickly or the cookie will harden and will crack when the M&M is pressed down!
