Spritz Cookies
These make-ahead classic Spritz Cookies fit perfectly with the rest of my Holiday cookie collection. They are super easy to make, melt-in-your-mouth delicious, buttery, perfectly sweetened, and have a wonderful hint of almond flavor. Decorate them any way you like, dip them in chocolate, cover them in sprinkles, you decide!

Notes

- should not be warm for Spritz cookies.
- Make these cookies up to a month before Christmas for a stress free snack during the Holidays.
- Add a little food coloring to the dough for a more festive cookie.
- Butter is what give these cookies their tender, rich texture and delicious flavor. Do not substitute with margarine.
