Christmas Holiday Ideas

Spritz Cookies

Ingredients:
————
1 cup butter (don’t use margarine), softened
1/2 cup sugar
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 tsp salt
1 egg

Heat oven to 400. Mix butter and sugar. Stir in remaining ingredients. At this point divide the dough into two or three parts and place in separate bowls. Use food coloring to color the dough different colors (for Christmas, red and green make a nice combo). When putting the dough in the press, try to spoon each color in on one side of the press, so that you’ll get the multi-colored effect. Bake until the cookies are set but NOT brown, 6 to 9 minutes. (Six minutes worked fine for my oven, so be sure to check them). Immediately remove from cookie
sheet.
