Quick, easy and pretty…buttery and melt-in-your-mouth whipped shortbread. Perfect texture for working with your cookie press! You can achieve the look in the photo by piping out the cookies with a large piping bag. Decorate by adding food coloring, candied cherries, or sprinkles!

Ingredients

  • 1 pound butter

  • 1 cup powdered sugar

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

  • pinch salt

  • 1/2 cup cornstarch

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 350 F. Cream together butter, icing sugar, vanilla and salt. Gradually add cornstarch and flour. Whip with an electric mixer until fluffy. Place into a cookie press and press out cookies on cool baking sheet (not pictured). Alternately, place in piping bag fitted with a large fluted tip and pipe onto a cool baking sheet (pictured). Decorate with candied cherries or dragées if desired (not pictured). Bake 12-15 minutes. Let cool for 2 minutes on baking sheet, then remove to wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.

Notes

  • Dress these up by pressing a half a candied cherry in the middle, or decorate with colored sugars or sprinkles.

I've been making Spritz cookies since I baked with my German Mom over 50 years ago! When I switched to THIS recipe, my family began commenting on how good my Spritz cookies had become! Best I've ever tasted, and they melt in your mouth.

These are light and delicious. Every time I make these my family and friends are impressed. They have no idea how simple it is. I put a drop of raspberry preserves in the center before baking. Make a great cookie.
