I got the bright idea to make cookies for Santa while my 2 year old was awake. These are the easiest cookies I've ever made. I threw the ingredients together and let the KitchenAide do the rest. The first batch came out of the oven less than 10 minutes ago. If they taste as good tomorrow as they do right now, I will be making these cookies every year!!! The first and last time I tried using the cookie press it was a disaster. This time...it was a breeze. I even let my son press the cookies!!! five stars

Two things I'd add to this recipe:

1. If your dough is too warm/soft, it'll come out all funny from the press and misshapen. It's too warm! Pop the press preloaded with your dough in the fridge for 15 minutes to chill it so it becomes the right consistency. It'll also make it easier to work with on the pan.

2. Add your food coloring to the butter/sugar/egg mixture. It'll disperse in the final dough much better and won't look streaky. four stars

This was my first time using a cookie press. I doubled the spritz recipe and added green food coloring to half the batch to make Christmas trees, and I was so pleased with the results. the dough came out of the press very easily, the cookies looked great and most importantly they were delicious. I did have to reduce the cooking time by a couple of minutes to avoid getting brown Christmas trees, but this was the fault of my new oven not the reciple. five stars

Thank you- I finally did not have to throw out most of the dough. I added alomond extract as suggested T the cookies turned out great five stars

I Googled "Cookie Press Recipes" and this recipe came up. I followed the recipe exactly and the dough produced worked well in my cookie press and tasted very good. It produces 48 cookies plus a few samples for the chef in my press.Just be sure to thoroughly cream the butter/sugar mix. five stars

This recipe was awful. The dough was thick and would not go through my cookie press. Save your time and money!

This is the best Saturday morning recipe to do with the grandkids. They love going to grandma's house to bake. They promise their teachers cookies if their dad doesn't eat them all. five stars

This was an easy recipe. The consistency was just right to be able to pipe through the cookie press...cookies came out beatiful, defined and they also tasted great...depending on the oven and bakeware you use, you might need to adjust the baking time, so they they will not be white and look raw....in our oven it took 10 mins per batch! GREAT RECIPE! four stars
