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 COOKIES I

These cookies are delicate when made with a press, or hardy when dropped by spoonfuls. I fill centers of press cookies with preserves or a chocolate chip for added variety.

1 cup butter, softened
1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 cup white sugar
1 egg yolk
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Lightly grease cookie sheets.

Drop dough by spoonfuls or use a cookie press to place onto prepared cookie sheets.

Tips:

  • Use softened cream cheese: Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature before you start baking, as this will make it easier to cream together with the butter and sugar, resulting in a smoother batter.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Use a cookie press: A cookie press is a great way to create evenly shaped cookies with a fun design. If you don't have a cookie press, you can also use a piping bag fitted with a star tip.
  • Bake the cookies until just set: The cookies are done baking when they are just set around the edges and the centers are still slightly soft. Overbaking will dry out the cookies and make them crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing: Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack before storing them in an airtight container. This will help prevent the cookies from sticking together.

Conclusion:

These Philadelphia Cream Cheese Spritz Cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion.
