Orange Cinnamon Spritz Cookies -Valentine's Day or Any Day

You may have heard me say it before, I'm a big fan of using my cookie press for more than just Christmas cookies! Just about every press comes with a heart shaped disc and I'm guessing most of us have red colored sugar so... How about whipping up some Orange Cinnamon Spritz Cookies for Valentine's Day (or any day:@) This is a nice cookie folks, sweet enough to appeal to kids and it's a perfect flavor combination for an adult to enjoy with a nice cup of tea or coffee.

An easy holiday treat:@)
