ALMOND SPRITZ COOKIES
A holiday classic found in nearly every cookie box, these almond-flavored treats are buttery, crisp and all too easy to eat by the handful (fear not, this recipe makes a lot). Spritz cookies also keep well, for up to two weeks stored in an airtight container at room temperature. If you don't have a spritz gun, you can use a pastry bag to form them. Or, for more rustic versions, skip the pressing altogether. Chill the dough for an hour, then roll out 1-inch balls, placing them 1 ½ inches apart on the baking sheets, then use a fork to flatten them. A sprinkle of colored sugar makes everything pretty.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Using a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or a hand-held electric mixer and a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce speed to low, add the egg and almond extract, and mix until well-combined and smooth.
- With speed still on low, gradually add both flours and the salt until just incorporated.
- Fill a cookie press with dough, or use a piping bag fitted with a decorative piping tip with a large opening (about 1/2-inch). Press or pipe the dough onto ungreased baking sheets, leaving about 1 inch between cookies. Sprinkle cookies with decorative sugar or sprinkles.
- Bake until firm to the touch and golden brown at edges, 12 to 17 minutes. Transfer sheets to a wire rack to cool slightly, then use a spatula to remove cookies from the baking sheets when they're still warm (which is easier to do than when they've cooled completely).
Tips:
- Use high-quality almond flour: This will ensure that your cookies have a smooth, rich flavor and texture.
- Toast the almond flour: Toasting the almond flour will bring out its flavor and make the cookies more fragrant.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to create a smooth, even dough.
- Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help to prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
- Use a cookie press to shape the cookies: A cookie press will help you to create evenly shaped cookies with a decorative design.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set: Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
Conclusion:
Swedish Ground Almond Spritz Cookies are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be decorated with a variety of toppings, such as sprinkles, chopped nuts, or melted chocolate. These cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them!
