A hint of orange and cinnamon highlights these Christmastime classics. I like to add colorful sprinkles before baking them. The recipe is from a booklet that came with a cookie press in the 1950s...and I still have the press! -Sarah Bedia, Lake Jackson, Texas

CREAM CHEESE-LEMON SPRITZ COOKIES



Cream Cheese-Lemon Spritz Cookies image

Cookies and Tarts, Week 10, March 29 These cookies are so tender and delicious! They have a very zesty, lemony flavor, only enhanced by the slightly sour tang of the cream cheese. If you don't want too much lemon flavor, simply omit the unsweetened lemonade mix. You can also use a dough gun if you have one to make some...

Provided by Jordan Falco

Categories     Cookies

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 c unsalted butter (2 sticks), softened
3 1/2 oz cream cheese, room temperature
1 c granulated sugar
1 large egg
zest of one medium lemon
juice of one medium lemon
3 c all purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp coarse salt
1 c confectioners' sugar
1/2 tsp unsweetened lemonade mix

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 375F
  • 2. Put butter and cream cheese in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment; mix on medium speed until creamy. Mix in granulated sugar. Add egg, lemon zest, and lemon juice; mix well.
  • 3. Sift together flour, baking powder and salt into a medium bowl mix into butter mixture on low speed.

Holding tip very close to the surface, pipe a 2 inch rosette onto baking sheet. Refill pastry bag as needed with remaining dough.

CREAM CHEESE SPRITZ COOKIES



CREAM CHEESE SPRITZ COOKIES image

Categories     Cookies     Cheese     Dessert     Bake     Christmas

Yield 100 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 12

8 oz. (1 cup) unsalted butter, softened at room temperature
3 oz. cream cheese (I use Philadelphia brand), softened at room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg yolk
2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
11-1/4 ounces (2-1/2 cups) all-purpose flour, sifted
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp Flor di Sicilia (if you wish)
1 egg white, lightly beaten
Colored sugars or other decorations for sprinkling (optional)
Tip: For the best results, measure your flour by weight instead of volume. (1 cup of all-purpose flour equals 4-1/2 oz.) If you don't have a scale, be sure to use the proper technique when filling your measuring cups.

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 375°F. With a stand mixer (use the paddle attachment) or a hand mixer, beat the butter, cream cheese, and sugar in a large bowl on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Add the egg yolk and vanilla and beat again until blended. Add the flour and mix on low speed until blended. Fit a cookie press with a die plate. Scoop up about a quarter of the dough and, using a small amount of flour if needed, shape the dough into a log just narrower than the barrel of the cookie press. Slide the log into the cookie press and spritz the cookies directly onto ungreased baking sheets about 1 inch apart. Brush the tops with the beaten egg white and sprinkle with colored sugar if using. Repeat with the remaining dough. Bake until the cookies are just golden around the edges, 10 to 12 minutes (it's best to bake one sheet at a time). Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet on a rack for 5 minutes before transferring them to a rack to cool completely. Be sure the baking sheet is cool before spritzing more cookies. Store at room temperature or freeze in an airtight container, separating the cookie layers with waxed paper.

ITALIAN "EASTER" CREAM CHEESE SPRITZ COOKIES RECIPE - (4.2/5)



Italian

Provided by Foodiewife

Number Of Ingredients 15

COOKIES:
8 ounces (1-cup) unsalted butter, softened at room temperature
3 ounces cream cheese (I use Philadelphia brand), softened at room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg yolk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon Fiori di Sicilia (from King Arthur Flour) (optional, but gives a citrus-vanilla flavor)
11 1/4 ounces (2 1/2-cups) all-purpose flour, sifted
1 egg white, lightly beaten (optional, if not using glaze. Helps to adhere colored or coarse sugar, before baking)
GLAZE:
1 1/2 cups confectioners' or glazing sugar
2 tablespoons milk
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
Nonpareils, for decorating
Colored sugars or other decorations for sprinkling (optional) if not making the glaze.

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 375°F. With a stand mixer (use the paddle attachment) or a hand mixer, beat the butter, cream cheese, and sugar in a large bowl on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Add the egg yolk and vanilla and whatever extract you wish touse, and beat again until blended. Add the flour and mix on low speed until blended. Fit a cookie press with a die plate. Scoop up about a quarter of the dough* and, using a small amount of flour if needed, shape the dough into a log just narrower than the barrel of the cookie press. Slide the log into the cookie press and spritz the cookies directly onto ungreased baking sheets about 1 inch apart. (optional) Brush the tops with the beaten egg white and sprinkle with colored sugar if using. Repeat with the remaining dough. Otherwise, don't brush with the egg white and sugar and bake plain. Then make the glaze. Bake until the cookies are just golden around the edges, 10 to 12 minutes (it's best to bake one sheet at a time). Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet on a rack for 5 minutes before transferring them to a rack to cool completely. Be sure the baking sheet is cool before spritzing more cookies. Glaze: Blend all of the ingredients. I like to lay my cookies on a cooling rack, and then drizzle the glaze with a spoon. Or, you can dip each cookie in the glaze. Sprinkle with nonpareils or colored coarse sugar. Allow to dry for at least 15 minutes. Store at room temperature or freeze in an airtight container, separating the cookie layers with waxed paper. Tips: I found the dough to be a bit soft to work with my cookie press. I refrigerated the dough for about 30 minutes, and froze each baking sheet. Do NOT line the baking sheets with parchment paper, nor grease them. Spritz cookies want to be on a cool baking sheet. The reason for freezing the baking sheets, is to prevent spreading of the cookies.

CREAM CHEESE SPRITZ COOKIES

A cream cheese spritz how classy is that. These are so good and creamy rich. Mom always made a double batch of these - some she added cocoa to, others she added almond flavor.

Categories     Cookies

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 c margarone
8 oz cream cheese
2/3 c granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 c flour
1 dash(es) salt

Steps:

  • 1. Combine margarine, softened cream cheese and sugar, mixing until well blended. Blend in vanilla. Add flour and salt; mix well. Chill. Force dough through cookie press onto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 400^ for 8-10 minutes.

Tips:

  • Chilling the dough before baking helps the cookies hold their shape and prevents them from spreading too much.

  • Bake the cookies until the edges are just starting to brown. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing them in an airtight container. This will help them keep their shape and flavor.
  • For a festive touch, you can decorate the cookies with sprinkles, colored sugar, or melted chocolate.
