Best Spritz Cookies image

This is the best tasting spritz cookie ever! The addition of brown sugar to the dough gives them great flavor. Buttery, crispy, and the aroma of the spices while they're baking is just incredible. I hope you enjoy them as much as we have!

Time 50m

Yield 72

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup butter, at room temperature
1 cup packed brown sugar
⅓ cup white sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 egg yolks
3 ounces cream cheese, cut into pieces
¾ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon salt
2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons colored decorating sugar, or as needed

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  • Combine butter, brown sugar, white sugar, and vanilla extract in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Add egg yolks, 1 at a time, mixing for about 15 seconds after each yolk. Add cream cheese and mix until well combined. Mix in nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt; beat until completely mixed. Add flour and stir just until incorporated.
  • Fill a cookie press with dough and press out cookies, using your favorite shape, onto ungreased cookie sheets. Sprinkle with colored sugar.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet for 1 minute before removing to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat with remaining dough.

I'm allergic to almonds, so I substituted almond flour with oat flour. The cookies turned out great!

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cookies turned out flat and greasy. I'm going to try again with a different recipe.

I had some trouble getting the cookies to hold their shape. I think I might have overmixed the dough.

These spritz cookies were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would add a little more butter next time.

I'm not a big fan of almond-flavored desserts, but these cookies were surprisingly good. They're not too sweet and the almond flavor is very subtle.
