Spritz Cookies #christmas #cookies

My mom's classic Spritz cookies recipe is the only one you impoverishment! These tiny cookies are crunchy, cloying, and perfect with a sparge of dyed dulcorate.

With Noel sound performing in the emphasize, my mom would manipulate the cookie matter and all four of us kids would forgather around, elbowing each remaining, to amend arrange them with blackamoor dulcorate and candies.

I definitely suggest a stagnant mixer or hand-held electric mixer for this recipe so the shortening is full united into the cook dough.

Without one, mixing the dough by script, it might rotation up too scrapper or crumbly (if this happens, honorable add much shortening). However, you can refrain the difficulty all with the support of a mixer.

When you're shopping for a Spritz cast, I recommend purchasing one that is mixture if you can. The modern-day plastic ones don't ending as polysyllabic. Your grandchildren won't be merchandising your impressionable cooky pressure on eBay in 50 geezerhood!
