ktgrok Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 I have to make cookies tomorrow to take to a dance class event, so might as well start my holiday baking. I'm thinking of making spritz cookies for the first time. I will pick up the OXO Spritz gun tomorrow at Bed Bath and Beyond (with a coupon), but need a really good recipe. Any suggestions?

Liz CA Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 (edited) Spritz Cookies 3/4 cup Butter 1/2 cup of powdered or regular sugar 1 t * vanilla extract 1 T** milk 1 T lemon juice 1 eggs 1 3/4 cups of flour 1/2 t baking powder *t = teaspoon ** T= tablespoon Mix all ingredients into a dough ball. Fill into spritz gun. Bake at F350 for approx. 12 minutes. Check since oven temps can vary. You can dip them into melted chocolate or decorate any way you like. :) ETA: You may have to double or triple for a crowd since this is the recipe I use for just family.

ktgrok Posted December 16, 2015 Author Share Posted December 16, 2015 All. Of. Them. All the cookies. /fatkid Ok, that made me laugh! We never had them as a kid, but I did help a friend make them once, in jr. high. I was fascinated by them. I'm actually very excited to go get the press. And the one I'm getting is very simple, so that the kids can help me too :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrie12345 Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 1c butter 3/4c sugar 2 1/2c flour 1t salt 3/4t almond extract 1 egg green food coloring for trees, red for wreaths :D My recipe calls for 8-10 minutes at 350, but they take 5 minutes in my oven, and I don't know why. I should probably go downstairs and double check that, but I've been making them for nearly 38 years and just did a batch the other day, so I think I'm good.

Holly Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 These are specifically for dipped cookies, but they are just as delicious undipped. ;) http://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/chocolate-dipped-spritz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktgrok Posted December 17, 2015 Author Share Posted December 17, 2015 I ended up using the wilton recipe that came with the press, but will be experimenting with others soon. The kids had a blast adding the sprinkles and using the press. Definitely a better experience than using cookie cutters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donna Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 I love spritz….especially with almond extract added to the mix. :drool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktgrok Posted December 22, 2015 Author Share Posted December 22, 2015 Update: after trying the Wilton recipe I switched and tried the Land O Lakes recipe, which was much better. Easier to make, and worked better. However, warning, do NOT use a dark cookie sheet, the bottoms got too dark on the ones on the black cookie pan. (my mom's pan, all mine are silver, and luckily I'd brought one with me.) Although now I'm going to try Carrie's recipe, as it looks similar but a bit sweeter, and my kids wanted sweeter. And alower temp, which I think is better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gardenmom5 Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 I always double mine 1 c butter 2/3 C sugar 2 egg yolks (use the white for meringue kisses - after baking, leave them in the oven until it's cooled.) 1 tsp vanilla (real tastes better than imitation) 2 1/2 C flour, sifted put in a press, press onto sheets, decorate as desired. bake at 375 for 7 - 9 minutes.
