#HolidayBaking: Spritz Cookies
First batch of Holiday Baking is done. And we have, Spritz Cookies. My MIL gave me a Cookie Press set last year so I’ve figure I’d put it to good use this year. I must admit, it’s easier than making our traditional Christmas Sugar Cookies. There’s not decorating going on which takes forever by the way. Fun, but tedious. Not the Spritz Cookies. A little sprinkle is all you need. This is just my first batch and I wanted to test out the cookie press. I will make more with my daughter since she looks forward to baking during Holiday season and a friend said she wanted some to we’ll be baking more for gifts in a few days.
The recipe was adapted from Sally’s Baking Addiction.
