Spritz

Recipe #302187 | 2¼ hours | 15 min prep | SERVES 85 (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: WiGal

Warning: these cookies are not meant for people on a diet. I mean how many people really eat only one spritz?! There are Spritz recipes galore at RZ, but this is the one I like and have used for many years. It comes from a TOH cookbook called Grandma's Great Desserts. The butter needs to be at room temperature so the dough is pliable. Concerning the yield, it depends upon the tip you are using in your cookie press. My cookie press is a manual gadget. My MIL showed me how to use the star tip that makes the long "worm" shape, slice it, and shape that into rings so that is what the yield here is based on. And the yield also depends upon how long that slice is. Try not to use a hot cookie sheet or the dough sort of melts before you even get it into the oven. The temperature of the raw dough also affects your timing. Every oven is different so watch the cookies very carefully so they are the degree of "doneness" that your family prefers. Happy Holidays from our house to yours!
