Easy, yum!. I used 1 tsp almond, and 1 tsp vanilla. I also tried 2 tsp orange extract and used orange spiced cinnamon to top- very good. Love these now that i have a spritz cookie maker. you can make tons of these in no time to hand out for the holidays.

Ok y'all I made these cookies and they're WONDERFUL... if you're getting dry spritz cookies it could be you're doing what I was... overbaking. Lots of recipes say to bake golden brown. with these cookies, don't do that. They were WONDERFUL... thanks caryn!!
