Spritz - Mary Lou version

 This is the Spritz recipe Grandma Mary Lou used.  In her notes she said "excellent" and "fills 2 lb coffee can".  Mom (Janis) remembered that they would cover coffee cans with wrapping paper, fill the cans with cookies, as gifts for church people. 


Spritz 

1 C butter, room temperature 

1/2 C superfine sugar (we just use regular sugar) 

1 egg yolk, slightly beaten

1/2 tsp vanilla 

1/2 tsp almond extract 

1 3/4 C all purpose flour 


Cream sugar and butter until smooth.  Add sugar, egg yolk, vanilla and almond extract.  Gradually stir in flour.  Use a cookie press to form cookies.  Sprinkle with colored sugars. 

Bake at 375 degrees, 10-12 minutes (9 minutes for me in Meadow Beauty oven)

2022 - Kaela has the Kuhn Rikon cookie press; Cynthia just started using the Oxo Good Grips cookie press.
