I have tried and tried to make Spritz Cookies. I have done research, used different recipes, tried cold dough, room temp dough, nonstick pans, and stick pans. I finally figured out the right combo that goes with my cookie press. I thought I’d share the info for others out there that might need it. When I searched for my cookie press, I found no info. I hope this fills one more hole in the internet. =)
From the kitchen of Laura Sharp (who got the recipe from her mom’s cookie press)
3 oz cream cheese (softened)
1/2 c. sugar
1 large egg yolk
1 tsp. lemon extract
3 tsp. grated lemon peel
1 3/4 c. sifted flour
1/2 tsp. salt
Beat together butter & cream cheese at high speed. Add sugar gradually until light and fluffy. Add egg yolk, lemon extract, and lemon peel. Sift flour and salt together. Add in three additions, mixing well after each. Shape dough into two rolls. Place rolls into cookie press and shape cookies directly on ungreased cookie sheet. Decorate and bake 7- 8 min in 400 degree oven.
