Basic Spritz Cookies

January 5, 2008 by Alison

This recipe was shared with us by Kathe. The key is making sure the dough isn’t too cold. Room temperature dough works best in a cookie press. At the right temperature, this dough will surely make using a cookie press easy and stress free. Press cookies are a highly rewarding cookie to make with friends since there’s minimal effort and lots of reward!

It all began when I was a child cooking with my dad, the kitchen a magnet for cooking and camaraderie, a refuge from adolescence. I spent countless hours chopping, sautéing and simmering my way through childhood. And now, with three kids of my own, I’m still chopping, but this time through their childhood and often with friends.
