This is, by far the best recipe for spritz ever! My Mother found it in the newspaper thirty years ago. It won a Christmas cookie award as the best cookie in the contest, and believe me it earned it!

Categories     German

Time 25m

Yield 8 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lb butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
1 egg yolk, beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon almond extract
1/4 cup finely ground blanched almond
4 cups flour

Steps:

  • Cream butter and sugar, add egg yolk, almonds and extracts, beat again, until well blended. I like to beat for a few minutes at this point, . Blend the flour in gently a cup at a time, until the flour is completely incorporated. Be careful not to over mix, as this will toughen the cookies.
  • Cool the dough slightly, if it is too warm, but don't chill for long, as the cookie dough will not cooperate with the press if it is too cold!
  • Preheat oven to 375, press out the cookies onto an ungreased cookie sheet. I decorate with colored sugar or candied cherries which I cut into fourths.
  • Bake for 7-9 mn. taking care not to brown them.

I'm going to try making these cookies with a different type of frosting. I think they would be great with a chocolate frosting.
