Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays my friends! Today's video is a two-for! We are testing out a vintage gadget and making some cute and yummy spritz cookies. The gadget is my 1955 cookie press. I hope you enjoy this fun little Christmas video! I wasn't able to film my gingerbread cookie recipe, but I will list it below for you!
Spritz cookie recipe:
1 cup butter- softened
1 1/4 cup confectioners sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp almond extract
2 1/2 cup flour
Preheat oven to 375
Cream butter, sugar, salt. Beat in egg and extracts, add flour graually. Bake 6-8 minutes. Do not brown.
Glaze-
1 cup confectioners sugar
2-3 Tbsp water
Soft Gingerbread cookie recipe:
2 1/4 cup flour
2 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp cloves
1/4 tsp salt
3/4 cup butter softened
1 cup white sugar
1 egg
1 TBSP water
1/4 cup molasses
4 TBSP white sugar
Preheat oven to 350
Mix together dry ingredients- flour, ginger, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, and salt. Set aside
Cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy
Beat in the egg, then stir in water and molasses.
Gradually stir in the dry ingredients
shape the dough into walnut sized balls and roll them in the remaining 4 TBSP of sugar. ( I used some gold sugar sprinkles this time and they turned out really pretty)
Place cookies 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. No need to flatten them.
Bake for 10-12 min, allow cookies to cool on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes, then move to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container.
