QUICK MIX SPRITZ
These cookies are mixed differently from other cookies (like pie crust) but they are the best. These are the ones I grew up on. At Christmas my mom would add almond extract and green food color then make tree pattern.

QUICK MIX SPRITZ COOKIES
Another favorite recipe from the booklet supplied with the Mirro brand Cookie & Pastry Press. There is no refrigeration required. I searched Zaar for the spritz cookie recipes I use from this book, to share with a fellow chef, but they weren't posted yet. *For tips on obtaining the best results possible with your cookie press, check out my photo demo in the Kitchen Gadgets & Appliances forum; click the link on my profile page or copy and paste this address: http://www.food.com/bb/viewtopic.zsp?t=330463.

Steps:
- Sift flour, sugar, salt and baking powder together in a bowl.
- With a pastry blender or two knives, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles pie crust or biscuit mix (very fine lumps).
- Crack an egg into a glass, liquid measuring cup. A large egg will measure 1/4 cup. If it doesn't, add water to reach the 1/4 cup line.
- Add the egg, water (if needed) and the vanilla to the flour mixture and beat the mixture well.
- Fill cookie press and form cookies on ungreased cookie sheets (aluminum preferred for best heat distribution).
- Bake at 375°F for 10-12 minutes or until cookies are just set or very slightly browned. Check cookies at the 10 minute mark and bake 1-2 minutes longer, if needed.
- Remove immediately to cooling racks.
Tips:
- Chill the dough well before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Use a cookie press to shape the cookies. This is the easiest way to get consistent shapes and sizes.
- Bake the cookies at a high temperature for a short amount of time. This will help the cookies develop a crispy exterior and a soft and chewy interior.
- Let the cookies cool completely before decorating them. This will help the frosting set properly.
Conclusion:
Quick mix spritz cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a variety of flavors and toppings to choose from, there's a spritz cookie for everyone. So next time you're looking for a simple and satisfying cookie recipe, give quick mix spritz cookies a try.
