Spritz Cookies
by Rachel Keller

I'm always on the lookout for great books, and when I discovered this small booklet, I decided to buy it and try some of the recipes. The booklet is very old with no copyright date or publishing information, but the recipes are great. Here is one for making pressed cookies.

1 c. soft butter or margarine

1 c. sugar

1 egg

2 tsp. vanilla

1/4 cup evaporated milk

3 cups flour

Preheat oven to 400 F.

Mix together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg, vanilla, and milk, mixing thoroughly. Stir in the flour, mixing well.

Fill the cookie press with the dough and form cookies on a cold and ungreased cookie sheet. Bake on an oven rack slightly above the center of the oven for about 8 minutes or until light brown. Remove from cookie pan at once.

Yields about 5 dozen cookies.

Helpful Hints: When making pressed cookies, hold the press upright, and force out the dough until it appears at the edge of the mold--then lift the press away. The dough should be pliable. If too warm, chill dough slightly. (It will crumble if it is too cold.)
