Spritz cookies
Ingredients
3/4 cup - Sugar
1 cup - Butter
1 - Egg
1/8 tsp - Salt
2-1/4 cup - Flour
1 tsp - Vanilla

Optional:
1 tsp - Grated lemon or orange peel

NOTE: There is also a chocolate version of this recipe
 
Instructions
  Cream butter and sugar in food processor or with mixer, when fluffy, add egg and process. Add flour, salt, and vanilla and process only until mixed. Chill for 20 minutes. Stir through to even temperature of dough. If it is too stiff it will ruin cookie press and if it is too soft, it will not hold shape. If it is too soft, try adding 1 T. of flour.


Spoon into cookie press. Press out onto ungreased cookie sheet. Sprinkle with colored sugars and bake at 350-375 degree oven. The 350 oven takes longer but gives more even browning. Takes 10-12 minutes depending on your oven.

Remove and cool on rack. When cool, place in tin and hide.

The single best thing to come out of Joanne's kitchen? Perhaps. It is very difficult to avoid eating these by the dozen. Sometime back in the 80's, Kirsten & I did just that...and from this, Joanne initiated her tradition of hiding at least 50% of the annual yield. --tbg

Serves...not nearly enough
