QUICK MIX SPRITZ COOKIES
Another favorite recipe from the booklet supplied with the Mirro brand Cookie & Pastry Press. There is no refrigeration required. I searched Zaar for the spritz cookie recipes I use from this book, to share with a fellow chef, but they weren't posted yet. *For tips on obtaining the best results possible with your cookie press, check out my photo demo in the Kitchen Gadgets & Appliances forum; click the link on my profile page or copy and paste this address: http://www.food.com/bb/viewtopic.zsp?t=330463. I do not believe the forums are accessible anymore, so check out my original post on my personal blog here: http://tinkstreats.blogspot.com/2010/03/mirro-cookie-pastry-press.html#links

Steps:
- Sift flour, sugar, salt and baking powder together in a bowl.
- With a pastry blender or two knives, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles pie crust or biscuit mix (very fine lumps).
- Crack an egg into a glass, liquid measuring cup. A large egg will measure 1/4 cup. If it doesn't, add water to reach the 1/4 cup line.
- Add the egg, water (if needed) and the vanilla to the flour mixture and beat the mixture well.
- Fill cookie press and form cookies on ungreased cookie sheets (aluminum preferred for best heat distribution).
- Bake at 375°F for 10-12 minutes or until cookies are just set or very slightly browned. Check cookies at the 10 minute mark and bake 1-2 minutes longer, if needed.
- Remove immediately to cooling racks.

[email protected]I'm not a huge fan of cookies, but these are really good. They're not too sweet, and the lemon zest gives them a nice tart flavor.

[email protected]The cookies didn't hold their shape very well. They kind of melted together in the oven.

[email protected]These cookies are a little too dry for my taste. I think I'll try adding a little more butter next time.

[email protected]The cookies didn't spread out much in the oven. They're more like little balls than spritz cookies.

[email protected]These cookies are a little too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.
