MAMIE EISENHOWER'S FAVORITE SPRITZBOAKEN



Mamie Eisenhower's Favorite Spritzboaken image

These yummy spritz cookies are said to be our former first-lady's favorite spritz recipe. They are just a little different from the usual, although I personally cannot pinpoint why. Probably just the way all the good ingredients combine. But they are delicious and you'll like them, too. This recipe makes a lot of cookies; I'm guessing at the yield.

Time 35m

Yield 72 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 lb butter, room temperature (no substitutes)
1 cup sugar
1 large egg
2 large egg yolks
1 teaspoon vanilla
4 1/2 cups flour

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350° with rack in center of oven.
  • Cream the butter well, adding the sugar slowly, then cream the two well.
  • Beat in the egg and 2 yolks. Add the vanilla. Please note that you can substitute 1/2 teaspoon vanilla plus 1/8 teaspoon almond extract for all vanilla.
  • Slowly add the flour, mixing well after each addition. This will be a nice, soft dough.
  • Fill a cooky press and press into desired shapes on a ungreased cookie sheets.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 10-12 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality butter: The quality of the butter you use will have a big impact on the flavor of your cookies. Look for butter that is at least 82% fat.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together thoroughly: This will help to create a light and fluffy dough. Make sure to cream the butter and sugar together for at least 2 minutes, or until the mixture is pale and fluffy.
  • Chill the dough before baking: This will help to prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven. Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Use a cookie press: A cookie press is a great way to create evenly shaped cookies. If you don't have a cookie press, you can use a piping bag or a spoon to shape the dough.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just starting to brown: Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly. Bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes, or until they are just starting to brown around the edges.
  • Let the cookies cool before decorating: This will help to prevent the icing from running off the cookies.

Conclusion:

Swedish Spritzbaaken 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. Whether you are a beginner baker or an experienced pro, you are sure to love these cookies. So next time you are looking for a special cookie to bake, give Swedish Spritzbaaken cookies a try!
