This is Ashley B.'s favorite Christmas treat. She says that she always makes them with almond extract and not vanilla. You will also need a cookie press. Ashley says, "Of all the treats my Mom made every year, spritz cookies are the ones I long for and make."
Makes: 5 dozen cookies
1 C. butter or margarine, softened
1/2 C. sugar
2 1/4 C. all-purpose flour (DO NOT use self-rising flour)
1/2 tsp salt
1 egg
1 tsp almond extract
Heat oven to 400. Cream butter and sugar. Blend in remaining ingredients. Fill cookie press with 1/4 of dough at a time. Form desired shapes on ungreased baking sheet. Bake 6-9 minutes or until set but not brown.
