Old Fashion Christmas Butter Spritz Cookies

 

I remember when my Nana used to bring us these Old Fashion Christmas Butter Spritz Cookies in an old coffee container that was wrapped in holiday paper with a bow on top. I always thought that she baked them herself but it turns out that she would buy them every year at the church holiday bazaar!

So funny- she did have a recipe for these delicious melt in your mouth cookies and I totally thought she was baking them in her small kitchen, but no that wasn’t exactly what happened!

These cookies really make a great addition to any cookie tray or platter this holiday season. You can also use this recipe if you are attending any cookie swap parties. This dough is a great dough for using a cookie press. The cookies always come out of the disks and trust me I have gone through my fair share of cookie presses. If you are a baker, you know there is a love/hate relationship with the cookie press. The dough has to be the  perfect temperature to come out of the press easily. You should not use a chilled dough when working with a cookie press, at least that has been my experience.

Happy Baking!
