Deb's Spritz Cookies
Makes approximately 6 dozen cookies
INGREDIENTS
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups unsalted butter
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
2 teaspoons orange zest
Food coloring, if desired
METHOD
1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2 Stir together flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
3 In a separate bowl, beat the butter with a mixer until softened.
Add sugar and mix until light and fluffy. Add egg, vanilla, almond
extract, and orange zest. Beat well.
4 Gradually add flour mixture and beat until well mixed. If desired,
you can tint the dough with food coloring.
5 Place parchment paper on a cookie sheet. Load the cookie
press with the dough, and turn out cookies 1 to 2 inches apart.
Add sprinkles or sprinkle with sugar if desired.
6 Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes
TIP
To make the sprinkles stick better, brush dough with egg wash before
adding the sprinkles. To make an egg wash, beat 1 egg white with 2
teaspoons water.
To ensure easy passage through the cookie press, do not chill dough.
