CINNAMON SPRITZ COOKIES
This is a Martha Stewart recipe. Martha describes them this way: "Delicate yet buttery rich, these spritzes are lavished with an immoderate amount of vanilla and a generous sprinkling of cinnamon sugar." These sound so good...I can't wait to try them! A cookie press is necessary for these cookies.

- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the dough, making the cookies lighter and more tender.
- Chill the dough before baking: This will help to prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
- Bake the cookies until the edges are just starting to brown: Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
- Let the cookies cool completely before frosting: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
