This is the best recipe for Spritz cookies. I have made them for the past 20 years and loved the way they looked in a holiday cookie tray. Each year I cursed because the dough did not want to make it to the cookie pan. This year I looked for a new recipe and was so happy with this one. This came out of the cookie gun with no problem . Thank you for making this cooking making easy.

I made these cookies years ago for my kids. This is the recipe I used from Better Homes and Gardens Version 1978 and it was very good. 1 c. butter 1 c. sugar 1 egg 1 tsp. vanilla or 1/2 tsp. almond 2 1/3 c. flour 1/2 tsp. baking pwd. 1/4 tsp. salt This recipe says do not chill the dough. So go figure. I added coloring to color it. So there is a difference in recipes. I was going to try this till I saw your review. I think I will stick with mine. Hope this helps.
