Tips:
- Use cold butter and cream cheese. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies keep their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
- Use a cookie press to shape the cookies. This is the easiest way to get uniform cookies. If you don't have a cookie press, you can use a piping bag or a spoon to shape the cookies.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set. The cookies should be firm around the edges but still soft in the center. Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
- Let the cookies cool completely before decorating. This will help the frosting set properly.
Conclusion:
Swedish 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. Spritz cookies are also a great way to use up leftover egg whites.
