Spritz Cookies

"This by far the best spritz cookie recipe I've found. The cookies turn out light and buttery with a hint of almond flavor. The dough is easy to handle. I double the batch - they don't last long! I also split the batch and add green food coloring for some of them."

  1. the dough was easy to work with ,but I found that even if I let the cookies cool long enough it was hard to get them off the cookie sheet. they stuck and they tended to crack easially. I don't know whether it is because I didn't use the cookie press.. I just used cutouts... they tasted really good...
