Gingerbread Spritz
I get so busy during the Christmas season that cutout cookies are a hassle. But I love gingerbread and spritz cookies so I combined my favorite recipes and was pleased at the results.—Sherry Gazelka, Iron, Minnesota

Nice flavor but dough was very stiff.Added another egg and went through press much better.
I would possibly make this recipe again, but definitely not as a spritz recipe. The dough is too dry to work in a cookie press. It does have good gingerbread flavor, though.
I have always liked spritz cookies and gingerbread. So when I saw this recipe I knew I wanted to give it a try!Now I wish I hadn't -it was a waste of my time and ingredients. The dough was dry and crumbly and there was no way it would go through the cookie press!I definantly would NOT recommend trying this recipe!!!
