Spritz Cookies
Spritz Cookies blend butter, powdered sugar, cornstarch, and whole-wheat pastry flour into a light, tender dough enriched with vanilla and lemon zest. Using a cookie press creates uniform shapes quickly, which bake to a lightly golden finish. The addition of almond milk and optional sprinkles rounds out a crisp, delicate cookie well suited for decorating and sharing during festive occasions.
