Grandma’s Spritz Cookies are a family favorite! Buttery, pressed cookies with just a hint of sweetness and covered in sprinkles.
Scale
Ingredients
- 3 1/2 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 1/2 cups (3 sticks) butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Add the flour and baking powder to a medium bowl and whisk to combine.
- Add the butter and sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment. Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg, the milk and both extracts and beat until incorporated.
- Add the flour on low speed, adding 1/3 of the flour mixture at a time until all the flour is blended into the dough. Scrape down the sides of the bowl to make sure that everything is mixed well, but do not over mix the dough.
- Add the dough to the cookies press with your desired disc attachment. Press the cookies onto an ungreased cookie sheet or a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Decorate the centers of the cookies with sprinkles.
- Bake for 7-8 minutes until the cookies have just set. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool for 2 minutes on the pan. Use a spatula to remove the cookies from the sheet pan and onto a cooling rack to cool completely before storing.
Recipe Notes
This recipe is from Grandma, as we’ve said, so it makes a LOT of cookies. You can bake the cookies and then easily freeze them for when you need them!
Store: Store cookies in an air tight container, a cookie jar or a resealable plastic bag. The cookie will keep fresh for about a week.
Freeze: Let the baked cookies cool own completely. Place the cookies in a resealable freezer bag and freeze for up to 3 months. Defrost the cookies at room temperature for 15 minutes and enjoy.
