I've tried recipes for spritz cookies that were difficult to handle and stick to my cookie press and that is extremely frustrating. When i tried this recipe, i was relieved. This recipe yields a easy to handle dough which lets you make spritz cookies in a breeze with a decent cookie press. You may add more/less of the essences as you like to tweak the cookies to your taste.
- 156 grams (1 1/4 cups) all purpose (plain) flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 113 grams (1/2 cup) butter
- 78 grams (3/4 cup) confectioners (icing) sugar
- 1 egg yolk
- 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
*You will also need a cookie press*
Preparation:
1. Prepare baking trays lined with baking mat/baking paper.
2. Measure out the flour and salt and whisk well to mix.
3. In a small bowl, combine egg yolk, almond extract and vanilla extract.
4. In a medium bowl, mix butter and icing sugar together till creamy.
5. Add in the yolk and extracts and mix well.
6. On low speed, mix in the flour and salt all at once.
5. At this time, preheat the oven to 200 degree Celsius (400 degrees Fahrenheit). You may preheat the oven earlier, depending on how much time your oven takes to preheat (mine takes about 7-15 mins).
6. Fill a cookie press with the dough.
7. Shoot cookies about 1 1/2 inches apart onto a baking mat or baking paper. Bake in a preheated oven at 200 degree Celsius (400 degree Fahrenheit) for 6-7 minutes.
