I used to make these years ago... I wonder what happened to my cookie press? I may have to purchase one, these would be great to make for my grandkids. Thanks for sharing another great Christmas cookie recipe!
ReplyDeleteMm-mmm, I love spritz cookies. They can be made in so many flavors. Lemon, peanut butter, gingerbread, chocolate ... lemon is one of my favorites. And they freeze so well, too. I have been through four cookie presses, I think, over the years. In my opinion, a cookie press is the perfect way to make a lot of festive cookies very quickly. It is so much quicker than rolling and cutting.
ReplyDeletePressed cookies are an easy and quick way to make a large amount of cookies and kids love them!
