Categories     dessert

Time 1h

Yield about 60 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 sticks unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 1/4 cups confectioners' sugar
2 teaspoons finely grated lime zest
1 large egg
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
4 drops green gel food coloring

Steps:

  • Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat to 350 degrees F. Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt into a medium bowl. Beat the butter, confectioners' sugar and lime zest in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla and beat until combined. Reduce the mixer speed to medium low; add the flour mixture and beat until just combined. Transfer two-thirds of the dough to a separate bowl and set aside. Add the food coloring to the remaining one-third of the dough and beat with the mixer until combined.
  • Assemble a cookie press according to the manufacturer's instructions. Working in batches, fill the press with about 3 tablespoons plain dough, then 3 tablespoons green dough, then 3 more tablespoons plain dough. Press cookies about 1 inch apart onto 2 ungreased baking sheets.
  • Bake, switching the pans halfway through, until the cookies are set but not browned, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool 3 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer to racks to cool completely.

Fruity Spritz Cookies made with Jell-O image

This recipe came from a magazine page in Good Housekeeping, and I remember making them in the early '80's with my mom, so this recipe is at least that old. I've made this with several different Jell-o flavors and they've all been good. If you have trouble handling the dough in the cookie press chill it a bit.

GLAZED SPRITZ COOKIES



Glazed Spritz Cookies image

Try one of our glazed spritz-cookie variations: Citrus-Glazed Cookies, Vanilla-Glazed Cookies, Vanilla-Glazed Swirl Cookies, and White-Chocolate-Glazed Cookies.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cookie Recipes

Yield Makes about 4 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 batch plain or tinted Basic Vanilla Cookie Dough or Spice Cookie Dough
Sanding sugar (optional)
1 batch Vanilla and Citrus Glazes (or 1 cup melted white chocolate (8 ounces) plus small candies -- optional -- for white-chocolate-glazed cookies)

Steps:

  • Knead dough briefly to soften. Fill a cookie press with dough (if making swirl cookies, fill with both kinds of dough), and fit with disk to make shapes. Squeeze cookies directly onto a baking sheet. Sprinkle with sanding sugar, if using. Bake at 350 degrees until firm, 12 to 14 minutes.
  • Let cool completely before dipping in the vanilla or citrus glazes, or melted white chocolate. Apply small or crushed candies, if using, while glaze is wet. Let vanilla- or citrus-glazed cookies set on a wire rack. Let white-chocolate-glazed cookies set in refrigerator, and keep chilled until ready to serve.

Tips:

  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Use a cookie press: A cookie press is a great way to get consistent shapes and sizes for your cookies.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough can make the cookies tough.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set: The cookies should be slightly soft in the center when you take them out of the oven.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before frosting them: This will help prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

Gelatin spritz cookies are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be decorated in a variety of ways. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect gelatin spritz cookies that will be enjoyed by everyone.
