Wish I would have read the reviews first. Like many others, I cannot find my spritz recipe so decided to check Food Network. Big mistake on this one. These are rather bland and very flaky. The cookies falls apart so I would not be able to give to friends or family. I followed the recipe exactly too.

I could not find my spritz recipe so I tried this one and loved it. I followed the recipe just as is, the only change I made was that I substituted the almond extract by adding the same amount of vanilla extract they were fantastic... I will definatley be making them again!

I could not find my spritz recipe and was very disappointed I did not check the reviews prior to using this one. Do NOT use 2 teaspoons of baking powder. 1/2 tsp. will do; I thought it sounded like too much, but I was making 3 other cookie doughs at the same time and didn't pay enough attention to the red flag I should have noticed. Baking powder...too much and your cookies lose all shape and are flat as a pancake. These cookies should hold their shape.
The recipe gets a thumbs down for not giving correct information.
