Like spiced cookies? Here's a fun one to add to the tray,
Gingerbread Spritz! I usually save my spicy spritz for the animal shaped cookies, Scottie or camel. This year I used a flower shape, I decided a simple cinnamon candy would add a pop of color and a little bite of flavor. They turned out pretty!
Gingerbread Spritz-
from Wilton
2/3 C brown sugar-
I added 2 extra Tblsp
1 egg
1 C butter, softened
3 C A/P flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp allspice
1/2 tsp cloves
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp ginger
- Cream sugar, egg and butter.
- Add the rest and mix well.
- Fill press and press cookies onto ungreased, not non-stick cookie sheets.
- Bake at 375 for 8-10 minutes or until done.
- Cool on cookie sheet for 2 minutes then remove to a cooling rack.
My tip: If you replace a spritz cookie maker
always keep your plates. I was bummed when my Mirro broke but thankfully I saved the plates and they work with my new press. The older plates are different (and more detailed) than the newer ones and make a slightly bigger cookie.
Very pretty! I have to bring something for a potluck at work tomorrow and was so wishing I was YOU!
ReplyDeleteLynn, Spritz cookies are so fun. These look delicious and so pretty to with the red cinnamon center.

Oh yum. I've never made Gingerbread Spritz cookies. They look (and sound) delicious!
ReplyDeleteThe cookie/dough is delicious, but I could not get it to work in a press and I tried two different presses. I ended up just making a ball cookie, pressed down with a fork. That was disappointing.
