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

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.

So easy to make and the dough works great in my cookie press. Good tasting cookie.

I have tried a number of spritz recipes throughout the years - this is the best! Can't make enough of these!

I was having trouble getting my brand new motorized cookie press to work...until I tried this recipe! Wonderful! Thank you for this recipe.

I am looking forward to trying this recipe; hopefully this recipe makes an easy to handle dough - that seems to be the key when using a spritz cookie maker.

very tasty and easy to make. I didn't get as many cookies as states on the recipe so I had to make 2 batches. It may depend on the shape you use.
