ALMOND SPRITZ COOKIES



Almond Spritz Cookies image

A holiday classic found in nearly every cookie box, these almond-flavored treats are buttery, crisp and all too easy to eat by the handful (fear not, this recipe makes a lot). Spritz cookies also keep well, for up to two weeks stored in an airtight container at room temperature. If you don't have a spritz gun, you can use a pastry bag to form them. Or, for more rustic versions, skip the pressing altogether. Chill the dough for an hour, then roll out 1-inch balls, placing them 1 ½ inches apart on the baking sheets, then use a fork to flatten them. A sprinkle of colored sugar makes everything pretty.

Categories     cookies and bars, dessert

Time 1h

Yield 4 dozen cookies

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup/225 grams unsalted butter, preferably cultured, softened
3/4 cup/150 grams granulated sugar
1 large egg, at room temperature
3/4 teaspoon almond extract
1/2 teaspoon fine sea or table salt
2 cups/250 grams all-purpose flour
1/4 cup/25 grams almond flour or meal
Decorative sugar or festive sprinkles, for finishing

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Using a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or a hand-held electric mixer and a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce speed to low, add the egg and almond extract, and mix until well-combined and smooth.
  • With speed still on low, gradually add both flours and the salt until just incorporated.
  • Fill a cookie press with dough, or use a piping bag fitted with a decorative piping tip with a large opening (about 1/2-inch). Press or pipe the dough onto ungreased baking sheets, leaving about 1 inch between cookies. Sprinkle cookies with decorative sugar or sprinkles.
  • Bake until firm to the touch and golden brown at edges, 12 to 17 minutes. Transfer sheets to a wire rack to cool slightly, then use a spatula to remove cookies from the baking sheets when they're still warm (which is easier to do than when they've cooled completely).

SWEDISH GROUND ALMOND SPRITZ COOKIES



Swedish Ground Almond Spritz Cookies image

This is an authentic Swedish Almond Spritz recipe handed down through the family from Swedish Ancestors. It's the only recipe I've ever know that includes real almonds and not just almond flavoring. It's a delectable cookie!

Provided by AKBELL

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     European     Scandinavian

Time 1h20m

Yield 48

Number Of Ingredients 9

¾ cup blanched slivered almonds
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 tablespoon milk
2 cups all-purpose flour
⅛ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spread the almonds out on a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes, until lightly browned or until they give off an aroma. Remove from the oven, and allow to cool completely. Grind to a consistency resembling rough sand in a food processor or blender. Be sure almonds are cool, or you will make almond butter.
  • In a medium bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg, then stir in the almond extract and milk. Sift in the flour, baking powder and salt, and mix in along with the ground toasted almonds to form a soft dough. Refrigerate the dough for 15 to 20 minutes. This will help the cookies keep their shape after pressing.
  • Lightly grease cookie sheets, and fill cookie press with dough. Press out cookies at least 1 inch apart depending on the size. You can experiment with different cookie designs. I've found most true Swedes tend to use the star shape, however, you're free to use whatever shape suits your fancy.
  • Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, until cookies are lightly browned. Cool on the cookie sheets for a minute before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

ALMOND SPRITZ PRESS COOKIES



Almond Spritz Press Cookies image

These are my hubby's favorite Christmas cookies. His Great Aunt Gin used to make them for him every year and it just isn't Christmas without them. She always made green Christmas Trees and pink Wreaths because those were her two favorite colors. Since they use all shortening they are a very crisp cookie. The recipe is originally from the cookbook that came with the Mirro cookie press. NOTE: you must sift the flour first and then measure or you will add too much flour and the dough will be too stiff! (If you prefer a butter cookie, I recommend Recipe #98883)

Categories     Dessert

Time 16m

Yield 72 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup shortening
3/4 cup sugar
1 egg
2 1/4 cups sifted flour
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon almond extract
food coloring

Steps:

  • Cream shortening, adding sugar in gradually.
  • Add unbeaten egg, sifted dry ingredients, flavoring and a few drops of food coloring. Mix well. (NOTE: you must sift the flour first and then measure or you will add too much flour and the dough will be too stiff!).
  • Fill cookie press. Form cookies on ungreased cookie sheets using the tree plate. Decorate with tiny multi-colored sprinkles.
  • Bake at 400°F for 6-8 minutes. Cool just slightly and remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack. (If you wait too long, they will break when you try to move them.).

Tips:

  • Chilling the dough: Before baking, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes. This will help prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Using a pastry bag: If you have a pastry bag, use it to pipe the dough into even shapes. This will help ensure that the cookies are all the same size and shape.
  • Baking the cookies: Bake the cookies at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just starting to brown. Do not overbake, or the cookies will be dry and crumbly.
  • Cooling the cookies: Let the cookies cool on a wire rack before serving. This will help prevent them from breaking.
  • Storing the cookies: Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Almond cream spritz cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion.
