spritz cookie recipe

These Spritz Cookies are buttery, tender and such festive Christmas cookies! The cookie dough is super easy to put together and there's so many ways to decorate them. A great make-ahead cookie!

Buttery Classic Spritz Cookies

(224 grams) unsalted butter, room temperature

(155) granulated sugar

tsp vanilla extract

almond extract

(293 grams) all purpose flour

tsp salt

Red gel icing color, optional

Green gel icing color, optional

Sprinkles

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line baking sheets with silicone baking mats. I don&#8217;t recommend parchment paper with these cookies. You want the cookie dough to stick to the surface you press them onto and parchment paper is non-stick. Set cookie sheets aside.
2

. Cream the butter and sugar together in a large mixer bowl on medium speed until light in color and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. You should be able to see the mixture lighten in color and get a creamy texture and know it’s ready.
3.

Add the egg and mix until well combined.
4.

Add the vanilla extract and almond extract and mix until well combined.
5.

Add the flour and salt and mix until the dough is combined, then remove the bowl from the mixer and finish combining with a rubber spatula, if needed. Do not over mix.
6.

If coloring some of the cookie dough, divide it into parts. I used white, red and green, so I divided it evenly into three parts.
7.

Use the gel icing color to color the dough. Add small amounts to begin with, then add more as needed. You can always add additional color, but can&#8217;t remove it if you add too much. Adding too much liquid will thin out your cookie dough a bit.
8.

Add one of the colors of cookie dough to your cookie press (I use this one) and follow the directions for your press to set it up. Hold the cookie press perpendicular to your cookie sheet and press out the cookies. They can be fairly close together, since they don&#8217;t really spread.
9.

Decorate the cookies with sprinkles, if desired.
10

Bake cookies for 5-8 minutes. I prefer them nice and soft, so I went with 5 minutes, but feel free to increase that time and adjust based on your oven.
11

Remove from the oven and allow to cool on baking sheets for 4-5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
12

Store cookies in an air tight container for up to about 1 week.

I’ve made many different butter spritz cookie recipes over the years, and these have got to be my favorite! The powdered sugar makes such a difference in the texture and the flavor is perfect! The dough came together easily and worked fabulously in my cookie press. 
Thanks for sharing Lindsay!

Thank you for the great recipe!! I’ve made spritz cookies before and thought they were kind of boring, but these ones were so literally so addicting. Really good flavour and just melted in my mouth 😍 (I also half dipped mine in chocolate for a lil extra somethin- but they’re also delicious on their own) 

Made these today and I'm thrilled with the results. The dough came together so easily and I had no problems using it in my press. I baked for 5 minutes and they were perfect!! The only change I did make was, I used citrus extract instead of the vanilla and almond. I wanted a brighter flavor as I already have sugar cookies and thumbprints. LOVE this recipe and it will be a go to for me.

Festive, fun, delicious! This was my first shot at a cookie press, and after the learning curve, it was a blast!

Thank you!

I just tried this recipe, it's my first time making spritz, and they came out perfect! The dough was so easy to work with and they came out so buttery soft and delicate. Thank you for sharing!

This was super easy! Years ago I tried spritz cookies with my kids got frustrated and tossed my cookie press. I got the Oxo this year. I let my butter sit at room temp until soft. I used salted butter and omitted the salt. I used 3/4 teaspoon almond extract since I have a picky kiddo. They were SO EASY and delish! Now if you could tell me how to stop eating them!
