Homemade Holiday Spritz Cookie Recipe for Cookie Press

December 2, 2016 Amy 3 Comments

It has been a tradition in my family since I can remember to make spritz cookies. Every year I remember my mom getting her cookie press out when it was time to make cookies. Of course my favorite part was being able to lick the bowl when she was done. No, I did not ever get sick or die from eating raw cookie dough. Trust me, I ate a lot.

Now, it is tradition in my family to make these beloved family cookies. My mom gave me her cookie press from when she first got married. This is the one I use to make my cookies. Sorry this one is no  longer available for sale. According to my friends these I would recommend the Wilton cookie press.  The reason these spritz cookies are so popular is they make a ton and they are easy to decorate. Spritz cookies just melt in your mouth and they are only one small bite.
