Super Shooter Spritz Holiday Cookies

Some1sGrandma's Note:

This recipe is reported to work well in the Proctor-Silex Super Shooter or Super Shooter Plus cookie presses. It may be refrigerated to make dough stiffer if necessary for other cookie presses. I lost my recipe book that came with the Super Shooter and found other spritz cookie recipes to be too stiff or too sticky to work in my machine. I found this recipe through a google search at www.familyeducation.com/whatworks.

This is a great press recipe and yes it is a little sticky, but the end result is too marvelous to pass up because of that. I loved mine, and will post a pic. Thank you for sharing.
