@christopherhopkins1: 🎄 Holiday Spritz Cookies 🎄 Ingredients: - 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened - ¾ cup granulated sugar - 1 large egg, at room temperature - 2 teaspoons alcohol-free vanilla extract - ½ teaspoon almond extract or alcohol-free almond flavoring - 2¼ cups all-purpose flour - ¼ teaspoon salt - 2–3 tablespoons red and green sprinkles - Food coloring, optional Directions: 1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Leave the baking sheets ungreased and unlined if using a cookie press, as the dough needs to grip the pan. 2. Cream the Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar for 2–3 minutes until light and fluffy. 3. Add the Egg and Extracts: Beat in the egg, alcohol-free vanilla extract, and almond flavoring until smooth. Add a few drops of food coloring if desired. 4. Add the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Gradually mix into the butter mixture until a soft, pliable dough forms. Avoid chilling the dough, as room-temperature dough presses more easily. 5. Fill the Cookie Press: Fit your cookie press with a festive disc, such as a Christmas tree, star, or wreath. Fill the press with the dough and press cookies directly onto the ungreased baking sheets, spacing them about 1 inch apart. 6. Decorate: Add red and green sprinkles before baking. Keep decorations light so the delicate cookie shapes remain visible. 7. Bake: Bake for 8–10 minutes, until the cookies are set and the bottoms are just beginning to turn pale golden. The tops should remain light in color. 8. Cool: Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 2 minutes, then carefully transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. 9. Serve and Store: Arrange the cookies on a holiday platter or package them in festive tins. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
