      To me, this is the definitive spritz cookie recipe. My mom had a Mirro press, since I was a baby in the '50's, and I've been making them ever since. You can swap out butter for shortening, my mom used margarine, I use butter. I also swap out extracts to change it up now and then, but almond is my family's favorite. I've collected a bunch of Pampered Chef ceramic baking sheets at yard sales, and that's what I use exclusively. I bake for 7 minutes, and my cookies are perfect every time. If you use the ceramic baking sheets, they take a while to cool down, so have a couple of them handy so you can refrigerate (or put them outside if you live in a cool climate) the sheet before applying the next batch of cookies, or the butter will melt and they won't stick to the pan when you lift the press.

      This is a wonderfully bad for you cookie. It is our favorite, with a crisp, soft gentle flavor that melts in your mouth. We have been making this recipe for 30 years and it never fails to impress when you taste that first cookie. You will enjoy this cookie.

      My mom made these every year. They are very good especially if they are a bit soft (not too dry).

      Let me preface this by saying that I am giving this 5 stars because of it's performance......I would prefer a butterier taste (is that even a word?) :) Last year we tried an old family recipe, and we couldn't get the dough to NOT stick to the press, so the images were all mushed and funky. We SWORE never to try again. Well, I tried this recipe and it made the most perfect, well-formed shapes and it tastes delicious to boot!!

      I've made this recipe several times, and the cookies always turn out perfectly. Since I use dark cookie sheets, I reduce the heat to 375 so they bake more evenly and are less likely to burn -- but I still watch them closely! Great recipe!

      incredible cookies! ive loved these since I was a little girl, thrilled I finally found the recipe. yes, they burn VERY easily! so watch them as the timer gets close. If you mix powered sugar and water to an icing consistancy and use cake decorating tubes, you can decorate the trees with garland, add sprinkels for lights and a candy star at the top. you can add color to the icing for different colors garland. youre gonna LOVE em!!

      Not bad, I thought these were ok but a lot of people said they were good. I think they burn pretty quickly after they are done, so you should watch them carefully.
