Deb’s Spritz Cookies

Makes approximately 6 dozen cookies

INGREDIENTS

31/2 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

1Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2Stir together flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.

3In 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.

4Gradually add flour mixture and beat until well mixed. If desired, you can tint the dough with food coloring.

5Place 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.

6Bake 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.
