\"Gluten-Free,<\/p>\n

A quintessential holiday cookie: the spritz!\u00a0 A SUPER simple buttery cookie that dates back to Germany where the word spritzen <\/em>referred back to the word meaning “to squirt.” This is of course refers to the cookie press method of “squirting” dough through the press in an infinite number of designs!<\/p>\n

Kids love them, and the simple, buttery flavor has won hearts all over the world.\u00a0 Traditionally, they are meant to be a very fragile, buttery cookie, not too sweet.\u00a0 If you wish yours to be more firm, you must use a binder (egg) and some additional flour.<\/p>\n

It did not take much for me to realize the similarities between spritz and shortbread. \u00a0They have identical ingredients but different cooking methods.\u00a0 And I know not everyone has a cookie press, so I am\u00a0providing a lot of options with this flexible and oh so delicious cookie dough!<\/p>\n

Options:<\/strong> Beyond the egg as a binder, you can also play with the extracts and the sweetener (all noted in the recipe).\u00a0 Each way provides its own little twist. Let your own taste buds be your guide.<\/p>\n

Happy holiday baking!<\/p>\n
