This was my first time making spritz and I was surprised at how tasty and simple these were to make. The dough was really easy to work with and was the right consistency to help it stick to the sheet. These cookies have a very mild flavor but a nice, buttery aftertaste (I used vanilla extract). I drizzled some melted chocolate on them to make them a little more flavorful. I think next time I'll add more sugar to the dough, just because I like cookies to be a little sweeter, but they're still good without it. My dad and I really enjoyed these.

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.

This recipe was awful! The cookies tasted nothing like the spritz cookies that I used to make with my dad. The dough was too sticky and I could not get it out of the press. I ended up just making little round balls and flattening them out. Once they were cooked, they ended up tasting awful. I'm going to try and get my hands on the recipe I used to know and love :)

RE LALindsayAnne: If the butter is overly soft or melted that will make the dough harder to work with and give that ‘wet’ texture. Be sure that your butter is softened but not melted.

Spritzes are my FAVE Christmas cookie. However, our family adds flavored jello mix to the recipe rather than worrying about food coloring. Yummy! :)
