Spritz Cookies Recipe

	Peetabear / All my dishes 1 year, 11 months ago These are a pretty buttery Christmas cookie and one that I make to use up all the extra egg yolks. I usually make them in wreath shapes and decorate them with green and red candied cherries. The recipe is from Baking Easy and Elegant. Prep:15m Cook:12m Servings:36	Peetabear

Ingredients

1 3/4 cups unsalted butter

1 1/2 cups sugar

4 egg yolks

2 teasp. vanilla

1 TBSP. finely grated lemon or orange peel ( I use lemon)

food coloring optional..( i don't usually use it)

4 cups flour ( I substitute 1/2 cup of pastry flour for 1/2 cup reg. flour)

1 1/2 teasp. baking powder

Directions

beat butter, sugar, egg yolks, vanilla, lemon peel until creamy

stir flour and baking powder into the butter mixture 1 cup at a time

beat well after each cup

pack dough into a cookie press using your choice of plates.

press out 1'' apart on an ungreased baking sheet

bake at 350' for 12-15 mins or until they just start to turn light golden

If decorating with candied fruit or small candies do before baking

to make wreaths: use the star plate. hold the press in a horizonal position.. I decorate the top of the wreath with a 1/2 red cherry and then cut a green cherry in 1/4th and put 1 piece on each side of the red cherry

I'm just like Krum, can't get the cookie off the form. But the daughter wasn't happy with the kinds I made this year, she wants her spritz cookies. I'll be in the dog house until I get these made. LOL....nice post, any hints would help.
