I got a cookie press for Christmas but didn't like the recipes that came with it (1.5 lbs of butter was too much!) so I came here to find a recipe. Found this one and made it up, wow, they taste so good, it was easy to put together and i'm happy :) thanks!
very good

This recipe turned out pretty good but next time I will add more Almond Extract and less flour. This recipe didn't spread at all, didn't have enough almond taste, and was a little too cakey. Next time I will punch up the Almond to a full Tsp, and cut back the flour to 3/4 a cup, or 7/8. Also, I will punch up the sugar to 1 1/4 cups.
AWFUL!

I hate to admit it because I have used so many recipes from this site with great success, but these are terrible! I chilled the dough so they held their shape - but the flavor is so bad there is nothing I could think of to fix them!
Easy to make and tastes grrrreat!

I'm a total failure when it comes to baking anything from scratch but these cookies are so easy to make and they turned out great on my first try! They're fattening as heck but they were really popular with my teenage nieces. I like to decorate them by dipping them or drizzling them in chocolate. I used an electric cookie press by Wilton and it made making them so much more fun!
Great recipe

I followed the directions and the cookies turned out perfectly. They did not spread out on the pan, they retained the shape of the cookie press design. They also tasted great.
Terrible cookies

These spritz cookies were terrible despite following the recipe exactly. The dough was impossible to put through the cookie press; even chilling the dough did not help. I tried adding a bit more flour and sugar, but this made no difference. The cookies also flattened out while baking with no discernible shape from the press. The cookies also did not taste very good. I will not use this recipe again!!!

These are really great and easy spritz cookies! I advise making them a bit on the small size, as they do spread some and puff up.
awful mess

I've been making, baking and eating spritz cookies since the 1950's. This spritz recipe was a disaster! Like a previous poster, mine melted into round, flat cookies, with no distinguishible design and a little brown around the edges. They were very delicate and tasted fine (almost breaking when picked up). So, I melted some chocolate chips and sandwiched it between two cookies. It gave them some stability and added some extra chocolate taste. They kind of came out like Pepperidge Farm's Milano cookies.

I thought I'd give this recipe a try and was not too impressed. I also made spritz cookies from my Better Homes & Gardens cookbook ("The New Cookbook", copyright 1996). Next year I'll stick with my BH&G. The Food Network recipe lacked flavor and needed more sugar.
YUM!!!

This was a great spritz cookie. The dough was very easy to work with. The cookies turned out beautiful and they tasted great. I am so excited to finally find a cookie that works great with my gun.
Wonderful! Melt in your mouth!

I make spritz every year for Christmas, but I thought I'd try a new recipe for 2006. Rave reviews from my family. Very fluffy and light, just the right amount of sweetness. I added a tiny bit more almond, but I'm just a nut fan.
nice and light

I really liked these cookies. For a christmas twist I added a crushed up candy cane mixed with sugar on top of the cookies before baking. I didnt have a press so I just made small balls. The cookies had a nice peppermint taste and they were just so easy.

These were fast and a treat! I think that the butter flavor really stood out. I like the almond flavor in a spritz cookie, so next time, I will add a bit more. Very easy and satisfied my craving!
Not enough flour

I don't think there was enough flour in this recipe. I started with Cristmas tree shapes and 5 minutes later had thin wafers with browned edges.
Perfect

These cookies were very easy to make! I softened the butter in the microwave for 20 seconds and creamed it before adding the powdered sugar. I beat the butter and powdered sugar(using regular beaters -- I don't own a fancy mixer) until it was the consistency of frosting. I then slowly added the flour/baking powder mixture three different stages. Since I don't own a cookie press, I rolled the dough into balls (a rounded teaspoonful -- app. 1"/ea.) and used the bottom of a beer mug to flatten them (I sprayed with bottom of the mug with butter-flavored cooking spray and dipped it in a bowl full of colored sugar sprinkles). Each batch baked perfectly in 8 minutes! I only got 3 dozen cookies out of each batch using this method.
If you are not a baker....

this recipe is for you like it is for me. It is simple with ingredients that are already on hand. I switched out the almond extract for peppermint extract and the results were fabulous!

Okay, I wish I could put photgraphs on this page because my cookies turned out glorious! My 14 year old daughter loved them and we had a lovely experiece decorating them. It was easy dough to work with and I didn't have to change a thing. My cookie maker is SAWA brand that my mother handed down from who know how many decades worth of use. So even an old antique apparatus works with this recipe. Result .. tender and tasty.
Butter Spritz Cookies are disappointing

User: Louisea from East Greenville, PA User Rating:
The Butter Spritz Cookies failed the following catagories in cookies: shape, texture, and flavor! The recipe was made not once but twice out of fairness. I followed the recipe exactly as stated (using the finest ingredients) and must report that it was the worst tasting cookies I ever made in 41 years of baking! The flavor is so bland in the first run that I chopped up cherries and placed them gently around the ea. cookie for flavor. The cookie press shapes melted into blobs before they were fully baked. Big waste of time, ingredients, and energy!

I try to take a "Goody Basket" to our builders each year and the 1st 3 things to go are my Mexican Wedding cookies, the Butter Spritz cookies & my hard candy.
Just like the ones in the NYC bakeries!

I have been looking for a recipe to use with my cookie press and this is the best butter spritz cookie ever. It tastes even better than the ones I buy in the top NYC bakeries. They are so easy to make and melt in your mouth. The only thing I do differently is use all vanilla extract instead of the almond extract, just because I am a huge vanilla fan. To make them extra delicious, I take two and put raspberry jelly in the middle and dip half in chocolate. Amazing!
Heavenly

I have one of the hardest times with these, and they are so easy to do with a 2 1/2 year old, if you can get them to come out. They turned out really well! I did add about 1/4-1/2 tsp of salt, though. Thought it was wierd the recipe didn't call for it. I also split the recipe in half and added a scoop, about 1/8 cup of Cocoa power and added about 1 Tbsp milk. Turned out really well. I also didn't have powered sugar on hand so I substituted with granulated sugar. I thought they came out well, as soon as I realized my gun would NOT work on parchment paper.. so I sprayed my cookie sheet and they came out perfectly! Definately add salt!

more extract

This is a pretty standard spritz recipe and you really can't do anything wrong. I do use a lot more almond extract however. My daughter likes to make these too. The only time she's had trouble with consistency is when she softens the butter too much. Then its a little bit of a trick to refrigerate the dough to the right consistency.
