These tender little cookies are very eye-catching on my Christmas cookie tray. The dough is easy to work with, so it's fun to make these into a variety of festive shapes. —Beverly Launius, Sandwich, Illinois

This recipe was absolutely delicious and one of the best I've made. I used a cookie press, which I always have difficulty with. These came out just absolutely perfect. And did I mention delicious?!

For 5 years, I've looked for a recipe for my cookie press. It never worked out. This year, I used this recipe and it is PERFECT!!! I will use it forevermore :-)

Abbygal. I had the same problem at first when making spritz cookies. You must hold the cookie press down flat against the cookie sheet then press the cookies. Key make sure the press is flat up against the cookie sheet. The cookie dough should stick to the cookie sheet as you lift up the cookie press. It took me a few tries then they worked and it was quite fun to make!

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

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.
