Iced Spritz Cookies

December 6, 2018 By denise 1 Comment

Classic Spritz Cookies are the perfect light, buttery cookie to share throughout the holidays.

Once December 1st rolls around, I am a Christmas Cookie baking machine. Last year I didn’t get to make cookies because I was exhausted and ended up getting sick right before Christmas and through the New Year. At the time I didn’t know I had pneumonia so I’m glad I didn’t get anyone else sick! Normally I try to make my cousin Courtney some Spritz Cookies and since I failed last year in getting some to her, I am doubling her gift of them this year.

I’m also adding a touch of glaze to make them Iced Spritz Cookies! I like to mix it up a bit every year. This batch made about 8-10 dozen – and I say that loosely because my niece and I were eating them as they were coming out of the oven so I can’t be entirely sure. It makes a lot!

These cookies are so simple to make and they really are delicious in a kind of an understated way. I also have a Buttery Spritz Cookie that I made years ago. These cookies are so fun to make and I like mixing up the discs to make different designs. I probably have three different Spritz tools that I’ve accumulated through the years but I like the Wilton one the best.

Some times it takes a little bit to get the press going but don’t give up on it. One note of caution, the dough works best on cold cookie sheets otherwise you may have a hard time getting the dough to release. If the dough becomes too soft, throw it in the refrigerator for a few minutes to firm it up. You don’t need to use a silpat or parchment paper for these. I actually think they work better without it.
