I am just a month shy of turning 55. My mother made Spritz cookies every year since I'm guessing 1950 if not before. I can remember her Mirro cookie press like I it was in my hands just this morning. I remember the green nylon spoon with the melt mark on the handle that she used to stir the dough and fill the tube. The same spoon she would threaten to spank us with if we didn't behave. I remember the warped cookie sheet rocking when she first slid it into the oven. I remember the semi-clear, rectangular Tupperware container she stored them in. The one with the small piece broken off the corner of the lid. When my mom passed away in 2008 one thing she left us all with was the tradition of making these, like she did, every single year. To this day, every year, come hell or high water, no matter where each of us are or who we are with for the holidays, we all still make them. In all this time, after so many thousands of cookies, this is the first time I am hearing someone recommend buttering the cookie sheet. And this new info? Quite frankly, it is not registering with my brain. I don't even know where to put that kind of info!

I’ve been trying to make these for years and never worked out...your recipe worked 100%. Thank you

Jus baked them. Tried quite a lot of butter cookie recipes and this is AWESOME. LOVE how it is not too sweet and very flaky. Melts in the mouth! Can't stop eating them.. Supposed to bake for my friends for Christmas. Looks like I need to do another batch. The difference is in the number of egg yolks. Most other recipes use either one whole egg or even two whole eggs and much more sugar n flour for the same amount of butter. Yes I needed to refrigerate a while before I used it in my cookie press but that's ok.

I've been baking Spritz cookies for 25 years...always on parchment. Last Christmas, I was recovering from surgery and couldn't bake (restrictions), so I watched videos of people making cookies instead. Now that I'm back in the baking business, I thought I'd give the buttered cold pan a try. Holy cow! I will do this from now on!😊

I received my cookie press in the mail yesterday and today I made these. They look so cute and tasty. I'm making some little bags to give some as gifts. Thank you for your great recipes !

I really love your baking video's, you explain things simply, your recipes are not too expensive or too intricate, and you are a pleasant lady.

I LOVE these cookies! My mom used to make them every Christmas using an original 1950's aluminum "Mirro" cookie press. This'll let you know that I'm knida long in the tooth. Anyway, the taste of these cookies is absolute heaven because they're not overly sweet and have a lovely buttery taste.

I love to watch Stephanie's videos. Her prowess at baking is second to none.

Thank you for all the recipes .You are amazing.So easy to bake along with you .Lots of love from Kenya .

Thank you for the weight/centigrade measures for us in Europe! My daughter received a cookie press as a Christmas gift and going to try these at the weekend.

One of my favorite cookies for the holidays. My mom use to make these when I was young and I still have her press, it is an old Wear Ever Super Shooter. My kids and I will make these this week to give out. :) Thanks for sharing!

Mom made these when I way a child. Loved them. Did a lot of trees. Added green food coloring to the dough

The kids in my house finished these cookies in 2 days!! They are amazing! I coloured them red and green for Christmas. Thank you Stephanie, you’re the best!❤️

Just finished baking these and even without a press they were delicious. Thanks Stephanie!

I always love to watch your very fine baking recipes as they are well described & so neat.you give away all good details as well.nice to hear your voice too..thanks a lot..

These cookies bring back wonderful memories of my grandmother at Christmas time. I love these cookies. great video.

Those look great, Stephanie, and going with the cookie press is a nice touch. Great video as always. :)

Awesome recipe. I love how you give us options if we don't have the material. You inspire me a lot Stephanie. In fact, I am eating one of your cookies right now with a nice cup of latte...

Hi Stephanie, I've been looking for a recipe for these cookies for a long time and they always fail, but when I found your recipe it worked 100% the best recipe ever thank you so much

I love this, and your accent pulls it together 💖 lol I love listening to you talk.

After making spritz cookie dough from a Betty Crocker cookbook and having the dough too hard to get through the press, I came to my go to for learning, KZfaq and here you are! Thank you for walking us through the entire process and sharing your super press with us. Going to buy one of those and try your recipe! Thank you so very much!

I love baking. I'm learning a lot here. thanks!

My mom recently bought me a cookie gun. I've only ever used cutters. I'm glad I searched your site. I've used your tips & recipes over the passed few years. I've never made Spritz cookies before, just standard sugar cookies, lol.

i just try cooking your spritz cookies and it was perfect the taste. thank you so much!😊😘

I swear, your the only one I follow when it comes to baking lol. Ive learned so much. This is coming from a guy who SUCKS at baking 🤣 started making your pies and now im the pie guy at thanksgiving lol

Thank u so much for posting this demo! I can't wait to try this recipe. Lots of love from Singapore!

Ms., Stefani You are a great teacher, give as all measurements and all details we need. Thank you for share with us.

You are my go-to, Stephanie. I know if I need to learn something that you are my best source for the information. I'm still in my infancy when it comes to baking and your channel is keeping my interest sparked. Thank you so much and Happy Holidays to your and your family.

I'll be trying this recipe! I make a log shape with the dough, then insert it into my cookie press. Thanks for sharing your recipe!

These are amazing! My husband wouldn''t/couldnt stop eating them!

I Love your videos, and your recipes all look amazing. I'm looking forward to trying some out 😀

Stephanie, Thank you so much for your recipe and technique. My mother and I used the Mirror press decades ago, and just last week, I purchased the Marcato Biscuits Machine. It is so good to return to a baking tradition that brings me so much joy. Your press, recipe, and technique are perfect! Susan Fabian

Thank you so much Stephanie, I was looking on amazon and there's just so many different types of cookie press and I was looking for one that looked like yours and again thanks so much 😃

Thank you Chef for the recipe and more importantly (for me)this demonstration of the cookie press. I won a very nice 'Cookie Press Kit' last year, from our Dairy Farmers of British Columbia. Now I have an idea of how it works and what I can do with it! Happy Baking 😊

Stephanie you are the most excellent baker ever! Always watch your videos and just love your presentation and how you explain the reasons behind the methods. Your fans love you :D

I made these yesterday for new years eve and they turned out perfect! Everybody loved them!! I really like your website so much, no need to convert everyting into grams and that makes it so much easier and faster to work with :D Thank you so much!

My Danish grandmother always used Cardamom (ground) as the flavoring, along with vanilla. That's what makes them Danish!

Thanks so much for including metric instructions. I’m looking forward to trying this recipe out

Thank you, for a 61 years male, making this cookies for the first time they taste yammy

Wow ! great presentation Steohanie, going to try Sunday. So kind of you to share your wisdom. Thank you!

Stephanie I think you are a wonderful lovely chef I realy love your videos they are realy helpful to me and my family!!

I REALLY LOVE VANILLA, THANKS FOR THIS!

Excellent Stephanie, I will try making it when I get a cookie cutter. Thank you I love you.

This is one of the best spritz cookie recipes I've tried. Cookies come out rich and buttery with the perfect texture - not too hard or soft. Definitely recommend buttering the sheet (I didn't on one and almost all my cookies broke!) and putting the batter back in the fridge to make it a bit more cold so the shapes come out nice from the press.

My 5-year-old daughter is your biggest fan. She wants to make this cookies for her teachers as Xmas gifts. I ordered a cookie press and it arrived this morning, so I guess we're baking tomorrow!! Thanks Stephanie, Merry Christmas and happy hanukkah

ohhh I used to loooove those cookies when i was a kid (and I'm from the Indian Ocean lol) and I remember trying out my mom's cookie press with them, so thank you for posting this, great as always :)

Love your recipes. Thanks so much for sharing them.

Amazing recipe! Cookies came out perfect !

I’ve been making cookies and I like your baking. I like to try decorating it and I’ll use your idea. Thanks for sharing your ideas in baking!

Wow..so talented. I always go back to you for Quality and flavour👍🌹

I recently purchased a new stand mixer, and found this recipe it looked beautiful and colorful, and it also reminded me that I had a cookie presser but had no ideal of how to use it until this video, anyway it went amazingly well the whole reparations, oh my gosh I really enjoyed making this with my 5 & 2 yrs old, in fact the pressing was absolutely fab, eventual baked the various shaped cookies, came out golden brown underneath left to cool down, i thought i would decorate it just like yours, but was just too gorgeous to keep waiting. we eat it all intend to make more this weekend. THANK YOU JOY OF BAKING. hopefully put some pics if we decorate them.

You are the best, I love the way you make everything easy.

I started making Spritz cookies with my mom when I was a kid. Only difference is we always use the recipe that came with our old cookie press using almond extract instead of vanilla; great flavor! Full flavor develops in one day.

Hi Ms. Stephanie i loved your baking very much. I have tried some of it and it was all really delicious. I baked for my daughter some muffins and I shared the recipe with her now she don’t want to share this secret recipe with anyone😀. This spritz cookies look easy to follow I’m going to baking it.
