So disappointing. First time using my cookie press (battery-operated) and the dough wouldn't break off and stay on the cookie sheet. Possible I am doing something wrong? Used the dough and made balls that I pressed down with one of the cookie press discs so it wasn't a complete waste and they did taste nice and shortbready

Easy and the best spritz cookie recipe I have come to find

I just made these and they are very tasty. I did increase the vanilla and reduce the almond since some of my family members don't care for almond. My only qualm with the recipe is that it made less than half of what it said (at least it did for me). Oh well, they taste good.

Great spritz cookie recipe! Using cake flour instead of all-purpose does make for a pliable dough, but it's best to refrigerate this dough briefly before shaping.

Fabulous and easy! My kids and I made these for Christmas. The cookies are tender and flavorful!

love the recipe but i find that if you use cake flour instead of all purpose it will make for a more tender spritz(or any other kind of cookie in fact)and the dough will be more pileable and easier to pipe

It didn't have enough flour in it. I had to add another 1/2-3/4 cup to get it to work. There wasn't a lot of flavor, either.
