SPRITZ COOKIES

Baking Spritz Cookies with a Cookie Press gives a uniformity unmatched by most other baking methods. This traditional cardamon spiced Christmas cookie can be made in many shapes� flowers, wreaths, or trees� and left plain or decorated with icing. 

I tried the basic vanilla cookie dough recipe and the surprise ingredient, for me anyway, was cardamom. I didn�t have that spice in my pantry and was curious to try it. What a delicate difference it makes! You can decorate the cookies with sprinkles, add food coloring to the dough, or ice them once cooled, but they are just as pretty plain. 

The cookie press makes fast work of the process and you can even switch shapes as you go. And if you think making these cookies is a breeze, eating them is even easier!
