Spritz Cookies
Description
This Spritz Cookie recipe begins by creaming softened butter and sugar until fluffy, then mixing in egg and vanilla for flavor. Flour is folded in to form a soft dough that doesn't require refrigeration. The dough is loaded into a cookie press fitted with decorative disks to shape uniform, intricate cookies, spaced about an inch apart on baking sheets.
The cookies bake at 375°F for 10-12 minutes until the edges just start to turn light golden brown, resulting in a delicate texture that balances crisp edges with a tender center. Colored sugar or sprinkles can be used to decorate before baking, and candies can be pressed into the centers for added sweetness and festive appearance.
Repeat the pressing and baking process in batches, using a silicone baking mat or quality non-stick pan to prevent sticking. Once cooled, the cookies hold their shape well and are suitable for gift-giving or sharing at gatherings.
Since multiple sheets are often needed, add extra baking time accordingly. Using a silicone mat improves release and consistency compared to plain cookie sheets. This recipe comes from Pampered Chef and offers a traditional crumbly and buttery cookie experience.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups butter softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 egg room temperature
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- colored sugar optional, or sprinkles
- Candy optional, for the centers of cookies
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). In large mixing bowl, beat butter and sugar on medium speed of electric mixer about 3 minutes or until creamy, scraping down sides as necessary.
- Add egg and vanilla; beat well. Add flour; mix on low speed just until blended, scraping down sides as necessary. (Dough will be soft; do not refrigerate.)
- Fit Cookie Press with desired disk and fill with dough. Press dough onto Cookie Sheet approximately 1 in. apart. Decorate cookies with colored sugar or sprinkles, if desired.
- Bake 10-12 minutes or until edges are light golden brown. Cool cookies 2 minutes on Cookie Sheet; remove to cooling rack. Repeat with remaining dough.
Notes
- Total time includes prep and baking; account for additional time when using multiple cookie sheets.
- Use a silicone baking mat for best release and ease of cookie removal; non-stick sheets may cause sticking issues.
- This recipe uses a cookie press to achieve uniform decorative shapes and does not require dough chilling.
