Yield Makes about 120 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 sticks (1 1/2 cups) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 large egg yolks
3 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
an egg wash made by beating 1 egg white lightly with 2 teaspoons water
green decorating sugar
candied cherries, sliced thin

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a bowl with an electric mixer cream the butter with the granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, add the salt, the vanilla, and the egg yolks, and beat the mixture until it is smooth. Add the flour and beat the dough until it is just combined. Pack the dough into a cookie press fitted with the wreath disk and press cookies about 1 inch apart onto cool, ungreased baking sheets. Brush the cookies lightly with the egg wash, sprinkle them with the decorating sugar, and arrange the cherry slices decoratively on them. Bake the cookies in batches in the middle of the oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges are pale golden. Transfer the cookies to racks and let them cool. (Do not let the cookies cool on the sheets.) The cookies may be made 2 months in advance and kept frozen in airtight containers.

These cookies were a disappointment. They were dry and tasteless.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cookies turned out flat and crumbly.

The cookies were a little dry, but the icing helped to make them more moist.

I had some trouble getting the dough to come together, but I eventually got it to work. The cookies turned out great, though!

These cookies were a little too sweet for my taste, but they were still pretty good.

I'm not a big fan of spritz cookies, but these were surprisingly good! The dough was easy to work with and the cookies baked up perfectly.
