ITALIAN CORNMEAL SPRITZ COOKIES
A chef at a local culinary school gave me this recipe, and I've been using it for years. Italian cornmeal cookies are from the Piedmont region of northern Italy. They're not too sweet, and the glazed cherries add just the right touch. - Kristine Chayes, Smithtown, New York

ITALIAN "EASTER" CREAM CHEESE SPRITZ COOKIES RECIPE - (4.2/5)
Provided by Foodiewife
Number Of Ingredients 15
Steps:
- Heat the oven to 375°F. With a stand mixer (use the paddle attachment) or a hand mixer, beat the butter, cream cheese, and sugar in a large bowl on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Add the egg yolk and vanilla and whatever extract you wish touse, and beat again until blended. Add the flour and mix on low speed until blended. Fit a cookie press with a die plate. Scoop up about a quarter of the dough* and, using a small amount of flour if needed, shape the dough into a log just narrower than the barrel of the cookie press. Slide the log into the cookie press and spritz the cookies directly onto ungreased baking sheets about 1 inch apart. (optional) Brush the tops with the beaten egg white and sprinkle with colored sugar if using. Repeat with the remaining dough. Otherwise, don't brush with the egg white and sugar and bake plain. Then make the glaze. Bake until the cookies are just golden around the edges, 10 to 12 minutes (it's best to bake one sheet at a time). Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet on a rack for 5 minutes before transferring them to a rack to cool completely. Be sure the baking sheet is cool before spritzing more cookies. Glaze: Blend all of the ingredients. I like to lay my cookies on a cooling rack, and then drizzle the glaze with a spoon. Or, you can dip each cookie in the glaze. Sprinkle with nonpareils or colored coarse sugar. Allow to dry for at least 15 minutes. Store at room temperature or freeze in an airtight container, separating the cookie layers with waxed paper. Tips: I found the dough to be a bit soft to work with my cookie press. I refrigerated the dough for about 30 minutes, and froze each baking sheet. Do NOT line the baking sheets with parchment paper, nor grease them. Spritz cookies want to be on a cool baking sheet. The reason for freezing the baking sheets, is to prevent spreading of the cookies.
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make all the difference in the taste of your spritz.
- Chill your ingredients before using them. This will help to create a refreshing, crisp spritz.
- Don't over-stir your spritz. Just give it a gentle stir to combine the ingredients.
- Garnish your spritz with a slice of orange or lemon. This will add a pop of color and flavor.
- Serve your spritz immediately. It's best enjoyed fresh.
Conclusion:
The Italian Spritz is a refreshing, easy-to-make cocktail that is perfect for any occasion. With its combination of sparkling wine, Aperol, and club soda, it's a light and bubbly drink that is sure to please everyone. Whether you're enjoying it at a party or just relaxing at home, the Italian Spritz is a delicious and refreshing choice.
