HOLIDAY SPRITZ COOKIES ( ANNA OLSON'S SPRITZ COOKIES)
Buttery cookies that have been Christmas favorites as far back as the 1500s. While there are many similar recipes this is the one I turn to each holiday time since finding Canada's own Anna Olson's recipe in an issue of Harrowsmith. My handwritten copy is well worn from years of use. Anna's recipe and instructions make spritz cookies very simple to reproduce at home - for those of us not able to pick them up at her Ontario bakeries. I may have to move! Thank you Anna for adding to our Christmas 'traditions in the making'.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Using an electric beater beat butter and sugar - I beat until nice and fluffy.
- Add egg yolk and almond extract; beat well.
- Add 2 1/4 cups of the sifted sifted flour over the butter mixture with wooden spoon or mixer on low.( a wooden spoon works best for me) thoroughly incorporate the flour and form dough into a ball.
- NOTE: if dough is too sticky add 2 - 4 tablespoons flour - chill dough before moulding ( I cover bowl and chill in the fridge for 1/2 an hour) a chilled baking pan makes forming cookies much easier.
- If using cookie press, press on sheet, wait a few seconds, then twist the press slightly as you lift it straight up.
- NOTE: if dough is too stiff to press out beat another egg yolk into the dough - (moulding by hand you may need to use all of the 2 1/2 cups flour - flour hands lightly makes moulding by hand easier).
- If you don't have a cookie press form into 1/2 inch balls - push a cherry into the centre.
- Brush cookies with beaten egg white and sprinkle with sugar; bake at 350 for 8 - 12 minutes or until golden around the edges.
- Cool on a wire rack.Yield will vary as to size of cookies.

Steps:
- Cream butter and sugar in mixing bowl.
- Beat in egg and vanilla.
- Combine flour, salt and baking soda, gradually add to creamed mixture.
- Using a cookie press, press dough onto ungreased cookie sheet.
- Bake at 375° for 7-9 minutes.
- Original recipe says not to let brown but I prefer it when the edges are slightly brown, it makes the bottoms nice and crispy.
- Remove to cooling rack and let cool completely.
- Melt confectionary coating and dip each cookie half way and sprinkle with finely ground nuts or sprinkles.
- I usually do half semi sweet chocolate and half white chocolate and sprinkle with holiday colored non periels.
- Let harden on wax paper.
Tips:
- Chill the dough: Chilling the dough before baking helps the cookies hold their shape and prevents them from spreading too much.
- Use a cookie press: A cookie press makes it easy to create evenly shaped cookies with consistent designs.
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to the correct temperature before baking the cookies. This helps ensure that they bake evenly.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set: Overbaking the cookies will make them dry and crumbly. Bake them until the edges are just starting to brown and the centers are still slightly soft.
- Let the cookies cool before decorating: Allow the cookies to cool completely before decorating them. This will help prevent the decorations from melting or running.
Conclusion:
White chocolate holiday spritz cookies are a delicious and festive treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be decorated in a variety of ways. With a little planning and effort, you can create beautiful and delicious cookies that will impress your friends and family.
