- Опубліковано 10 лют 2025
- Learn how to make classic spritz cookies! Including how to use both new and old cookie presses. These cookies are slightly crunchy, buttery, not too sweet and absolutely, the most addicting cookies you will ever have! They are a tradition on many holiday tables but many folk have problems making them. Let me take all the guess work out of it!
What you'll need:
2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, softened
2/3 cup granulated sugar
2 large egg yolks
2 tsp milk
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp almond extract
2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp salt
Cream together butter and sugar in a large bowl until creamy. Add in wet ingredients and mix well. Add in flour and salt and mix to combine. Color the dough if you wish to do so or leave it plain. *DO NOT REFRIGERATE DOUGH* Put into a cookie press and press out onto an ungreased, room temp cookie sheet. Decorate if desired with colored sugar, dragees, nonpareils, sprinkles, etc. Bake in a preheated 350*F oven for 9-11 minutes or until done but not browned. Let cool a few minutes on the cookie sheet and then remove to a wire rack to cool completely. Let cookie sheet cool before pressing out more cookies. If using a new press, makes 7-8 dozen cookies. If using an old press, makes 3-4 dozen cookies. Store in an airtight container. Enjoy!

Ive been coming back for this recipe every year for the past 6 years. THANK YOU for being part of my holiday traditions🎉
So happy to see the vintage press still being promoted! I have my grandma’s still in the original box and with the original recipes insert. I use it every year at Christmas and make many dozens of cookies. If she were still with us, she would be 103. That’s should give you an idea of how old that press is!
I'm making these today. There are many videos about making spritz cookies, but I would trust your the most. I sure wish you were back on UA-cam! So many of your recipes are now my favorites!!
Hope you have a Merry Christmas Susan! I'll be back eventually. Hopefully after the first of the year.
You can also put the green dough in first, than add the plain dough and then add the red. Your cookies turn out really neat with the swirls of the three colors. At Valantines day, I just add red and white and red and white with the heart disc and you get really cool heart cookies.
I bought a brand new-looking Wilton Spritz Cookie Press for $3.00 at an Estate Sale a couple of weeks ago. I thought I might be able to use it to squeeze out finely ground meat to dehydrate for jerky. I had no intention of using it for cookies. It had no instructions with it, so tonight I decided to try to find something online. Well, that search sent me down the deepest rabbit hole I could have ever imagined!! I saw a very old Wilton video which left a lot to be desired and no instructions. Then I saw your video. I had no idea that there was such a thing as "Spritz" cookies and that you had to use a specific recipe to make the dough a certain consistency to use this machine! Intriguing!! So down the rabbit hole, I went!!!! I'm sure I've eaten these cookies in my long ago past, and I liked them ...A LOT!!! Now I MUST make Spritz cookies! In addition, I MUST figure out how to make them Keto!!! OK, I'm up for the challenge!
Recipe was super delicious and the cookies came out perfectly. It's so far the best I've ever made. I halved the recipe but I still used two egg yolks for it. The cookie was rich in taste and personally I found the cookie to taste better the day after I made them.
Everyone should try this out! Thanks Crouton Crackerjacks
I've been trying to make Spritz Cookies for years and have thrown out several batches. Some how it came up this past weekend and my son convinced me to try UA-cam again (I had watched many, but never this one). I followed your recipe and tips and, FINALLY...success. Thank you so much!
So satisfying watching you press out lines of cookies. I just found a cookie press for $3.00, I can not wait to try it.
I got aggravated years ago trying to make these. Finally about 3= years ago l splurged & bought an electric one & l still haven’t gotten brave enough to try it out but after watching this video l feel confident enough to try. Wish me luck. I wanted to make these with my granddaughters & now l’m positive they are old enough (12 & 14). The oldest one almost did me in last year. She never wanted to stop & rest between recipes. She would have baked all day as long as l had the ingredients. We never did try the spritz but now, watch out !!
Bless you! I just pulled my mother's vintage press out and had no clue how to use it. I'm making butter cookies.
These came out perfect with no changes. I used an Avon press I've had for years, but had never used. These are best butter cookies ever. I had no idea it would be so easy! Thanks so much!
These were the BEST Spritz I ever made.
I tried different recipes, this recipe came out the best. putting the cookie sheet in the refrigerator for 5 minutes seem to help the cookies stick to the pan when placing cookies.
thats the only way Ive done it since I learned that trick! Now making spritz is easy right?
Thanks for sharing this recipe. I'll try to bake this recipe. God bless.
thanks for mentioning that you must not use self raising flour!! That is a very important point as i always buy self raising flour. I appreciate this video - thank you
If you spritz your cookies with a water bottle the sprinkles stick to the cookie and dont end up all over your tray. Thanks for the recipe!
Jackie Wilson Thanks for the tip!
Your welcome! =)
Jackie Wilson smart!! Thanks
If you use a small empty spice bottle that has the plastic sieve cap in it, fill it with any of your decorations and sprinkle over your cookies. Your sprinkles won't get wasted.
Great tip! Thx
thank you for this video. my granmother who passed away in 1991 used to make these exactly like the ones in your video. I never knew how she did it. such wonderful memories. I appreciate it
I make these all year, stars with red and blue sugar sprinkles for July Fourth. Pastel flowers for spring or bridal showers. dainty yellow black eye susans for fall and a leaf with the addition of ginger, nutmeg, and cinnamon with maple icing sticking two leaves together. Don't wait for Christmas! great videos, I've just subscribed.
Love your videos.....easy to listen to voice, no superfluous chitchat, and really good instructions and recipes. I have both the vintage and new-style trigger press [I haven't used yet] and it's time to start baking - with your video :) Thank you!
What would I use to replace the almond allergic to nuts
@@meliodasd3880 just leave out the almond extract
i have not made these yet, but out of all the videos i watched, this guy was the best, plain words, told about the flour, [i didnt know!] really covered it. thanks!
The best recipe and great instructions, easy to follow, helpful. Thank you
I made these spritz cookies for my cookie exchange and I just want to thank you !!! Soooo delicious and addicting for sure !!!! Will be my new spritz recipe !! Merry Christmas !!
How much flour
Husband picked up a deluxe Pampered Chef cookie spritzer somewhere in the past couple of years. It looks new. Think I'll give it a whirl now that I've seen your excellent instructions.
Thank you for doing this video and providing the recipe below. I acquired one of the older cookie presses and had no idea how it worked as it didn't come with directions. You made it look so easy and provided suggestions to correct the issues that may come up. Thanks again and keep up the videos. I watched other videos and some were extremely painful. Some people should not be allowed to own a video camera of any sort.
Great video! Awesome cookie recipe, just don't know how much flour you used, please let me please and thank you!
Best video I've seen so far with using the cookie press. Thank you 🎄☃️🎄☃️🎄☃️🎄☃️
Thank you for showing us the exact recipes as you shown us how to make these wonderful cookies.
I have tried other recipes and it never turns out the way the end result of the video.
I did make some changes your recipe by cutting back the sugar content and adding other things to it and it’s still is fabulous!!!
Thank you so much for showing the vintage cookie press!
The best recipe for these cookies! I found it last year and I will be using it from here on out!!! Thank you! Love your channel!
What a scrumptious recipe! My daughter and I just made several batches. They are to die for! Thank you so much for sharing! BTW, although it is a little difficult, the dough is able to be piped.
I was happy to see that there is a "cause" for the dough not sticking to cookie sheet. I never knew I needed to use a COLD cookie sheet and that it could not have any grease on the sheet. thanks
I make these first of all of my xmas cookies, as they are very non perishable. The video above is excellent and exactly what most of us veteran cookie press users have found. He is right, the newer plastic presses are wonderful. Yes, they're made out of plastic, the only downer. His old fashioned one is pretty good too. Mine was too complicated to use.
nice simple directions ....so easy to follow. I have my Moms old cookie press. Ready to start...thanks.
This is the best spritz cookie recipe that I have ever found, a Thank you so much!!!!
These look so professional. Good job!
FunFoods Thanks!
@@croutoncrackerjacks I would love to try and make a chocolate version - any recipes for chocolate spritz? Thank you so much
The cold cookie sheet idea makes so much sense! The last few years the first few batches come out fine and the last few I have issues always thought it was the cookie gun maybe it's the cookie sheet. *mindblown*
Wow! These look amazing! I’m not good with baking but I want to do some baking with my daughter and you lay out the instructions perfectly so it’s easy and doable for someone like myself!
This recipe is the best of three that I tried (Cooks Illustrated and the one that came with the press). Very delicious flavor and texture. Next time I'll use setting 1 because setting 2 looked great on the sheet but turned out looking chubby after they were baked. Thank you for the great recipe!
The best recipe out there as far as spritz cookies my Aunts recipe I have also calls for just the egg yolk!
Excellent tutorial! thanks for the much needed tips! Spritz are a family favorite. I have my grandmother's cookie press! Brings back memories!
Kris B Thanks Kris! These are my all-time favorite cookie ever! I wish I had my grandmothers press. Dunno what ever happened to it. But making these every year brings back memories of baking with her!
My mom recently gave me the old style press and I had no idea how to use it, so thanks!
Lovely... the addition of almond extract is delicious!
Always a must at my house thanks for sharing❤
Oh man is this a great recipe! I think just using egg yolks is key, to where other recipes use the whole egg. I think next time I’m just going to make 3 batches, each one a different color! Thanks for the recipe!
My mom used to get these cookies during Christmas when one of her customers came to gift them to her but she moved away and I missed them. Definitely going to try this!
I am going to give these a whirl! Merry Christmas and happy baking
I really enjoyed your video and instructions. They were very easy to follw.
I can't wait to try this recipe.Thanks again for excellent recipe. Have a great day
I love this video my grandmother made these cookies every Christmas we called them press cookies and now I've kept the tradition going to my daughters ! Merry Christmas! Love this video brought back alot of memories ty
I'm getting a cookie press for this season. thank you for the tutorial. I'm excited to try this and continue tradition with my daughter.
I tried this recipe and for the first time spritz cookies,using a cookie press. They came out wonderfully, tasty and fun to do. I couldn't decorate though my sanding sugars, jimmys, pearls would not stick at all. Will try a bit of color in the dough next. Thanks for this excellent video/tutorial.
ajhpetlover someone else commented to use a water bottle to lightly mist the cookies and then add sprinkles 🙂
Thanks for suggestion of misting cookies w h2o bottle. I recall reading about using an eggwhite wash to help decorations stick, anyone know which is best?
Question! Can I mix food coloring in with mixer so I get a well disbursed colored dough without streaks or is that over processing the dough?
ajhpetlover that would seem to be the easiest way to get the colour right, give it a try 😄
@@ajhpetlover I think an egg wash would create a shiny layer that isn't desirable for this cookie. I'd stick with a spritz of water.
Thanks for this recipe. I struggle with spritz cookies every year. I always have a hard time with the cookie press. Hopefully this one works better for me.
this is the first year i attempted to make spritz cookies... With your tutorial these are the easiest cookies and taste so good. Thank you so much
I love this recipe!! I just tried it and my family loves the cookies thank you!!!
Made the cookies today and they turned out great
Thank you for showing both the new and vintage style cookie press!
Awesome recipe! The cookies turned out absolutely beautiful and it was so easy. Thanks for the recipe and the new spritz cookie making skill!
you made this recipe look so easy . my husband just got me the vintage cookie press... l am so glad l saw how you used it.. going to give it a try now.. you better stay close by buddy... l made need your help again! ,....... Essie
Made these the other day. It taste better as each day passes if kept in an airtight container. I put Raspberry preserves in the center of my flower shaped cookies then baked it. Very buttery. I wonder why this person has not posted more content.
I love this ! thank you .
Thank you so much for sharing this recipe and the procedure how to use the cutter. I'm sure once I make this it will turn great like the bread pudding I learned from you it was so delicious. MERRY CHRISTMAS. 🌲⭐️and GOD BLESS🙏.
what a novel way (to me) of making spritz cookies. I am in France on the border of germany and I make my spritz cookies with a meat grinder. I just bought the meat grinder attachment for the kitchenaid and used it for the first time this year. Have upoaded it to my youtube channel if you want to see a new way of making them, like the germans do.
Thanks -- just pulled out old cookie press from my childhood. We are going to experiment with it today!
I just made these love the recipe !!!! it works better then the one I had !!! thanks for sharing ;)
Best spritz cookie vid ever ….Been doing these for years ❤️❤️
I come back to this video every year. Helps med to make the perfect cookie. Thank you.
This was very helpful to me. I have struggled through the years with an old cookie press that I finally got so frustrated with I threw it and damaged it. A blessing for me, actually. I will go get one of the new ones and use your recipe in the future and I should have success. Thank you so much and those cookies looks really delicious!! xo
wildheart5 Oh noes! Not flying cookie presses! HAHA!! One of the things that frustrates people most is that a lot of recipes call for refrigerating the dough which makes the dough nearly impossible to press out. That's a great way to get frustrated! LOL!! And if all the turning of the knob seems fussy, the new presses are a godsend. You can pump out 3 dozen cookies in a minute. And they're so much easier to clean than the old presses too! Only thing I don't like about them is the die plates are so thin. The old ones are super thick and heavy-duty but if you still have them, they do interchange between new and old presses (at least mine do). Hopefully you'll have better luck with the new press!

This is the best cooking chanel i've ever known
Rahaf Assaf Well thank you! :-)
Thank you for the video! First time ever that my spritz cookies came out right!

Thank you I'm getting mine out I have one of the old one.
I'm gettin a cookie press and thank you for the simple recepie
My mother made these with an old metal star press and they were so good just out of the oven.
Ive seen a cookie press before but never seen one used, this was so easy and neat!
Wow I love these cookies. The colours are so vibrant also. Fantastic cookies jason.
FitAnge S Thanks Ange! These little suckers are the best. Always the first to go. Addictive lil suckers! LOL!!
lol I bet
Speaking of vibrant colors where can I purchase the same food coloring you used? I bought a regular kind in the grocery store and they are not producing a deep green or red no matter if I add more than recommended so can you recommend a type that will produce nice vibrant colors and where can I get them? than youoik’
Excellent teaching skills!
Turned out beautifully. Thank you
Thank you! Came out perfect and delicious too! 🎄
I made these today. The most delicious perfect cookie. Thank you🙂
Awe like a Christmas tree forest! I cannot wait to try this!!
Thank you so much for this video. Tried it and they turned out perfect. Now I can;t wait to make more.
Fantastic!! Thank for making it look SOooo!! Easy! Jason! they are beautiful...
elrabbitsbbq Thanks Manuel! They really are easy. If you've made them a thousand times like I have, LOL!! I know it can seem intimidating using a cookie press if you've never used one. No fear, they don't bite!
Thank you for the tutorial! It is very helpful and informative! I will give your recipe a try. Many thanks!
Hmmm, I’m glad I came across this recipe. I’m going to definitely try it. I have a cookie press styled like the older ones. If it doesn’t work this time, I’ll get the new one. Thanks for sharing.
Tried this recipe today..came out very well..Thanks for sharing!!!
This is so awesome! I had never know about this tradition till my friend showed me this year. Such a fun way to make cookies. Thank you for this tutorial!
made this twice already and am gonna make it again this holiday season. thanks for this vid. :)
Delicious ❤
I was trying to do this tonight. I was excited to use my new plastic cookie press that I got on Amazon. I could NOT get it to work. I pressed on my trigger, I got nothing 5 trigger presses and nothing. I am going to try with no grease on the tray, and a cooler tray tomorrow. Thank You.
Yum! I have butter cookie dough, hoping I can use that to completely finish making all my cookies.
I think I will get out my cookie press and make some of these.. The problem I always had was finding a dough recipe that had a good flavor! I like the ingredients in yours! :). They looked delish!
***** Thank Judy! These are the best spritz cookies I've ever had. I've made them like this for years and they always bring back memories of my grandmother. And a lil tip...I dunno why but the cookies made in an old press taste better than the new press. Same exact recipe but something to do with the press that makes the cookies better. Call me crazy but it's true! LOL!!
Thank you! I’m excited to try!
I haven't had these cookies in years! Always loved them. I'll have to get a press and give them a try. I remember having them flavored somehow with dry jello mix, do you know a recipe for those? Thanks, love your videos!!
Great video! I've always been intimidated by a cookie press but this looks very do-able! Love you videos. Your recipes always work great!
MercedesDoll2012 Thank you!! Definitely do give these a try! I know, the cookie press can seem intimidating but don't let it fool you. They're super easy to use and they are the secret to the best cookies ever! HAHA!!
Thanks for great video.. God bless your holiday season😇
Made these this morning. Daughter says "Dad, why don't you make these more often? They're really good!" Honest praise from a 16 year old. Thanks for the video.
2451805 HAHA!! You're very welcome! I'm always anxious to make these every Christmas season and I make them all month long. Make myself sick of them by the new year and then by Thanksgiving, I'm craving them again! LOL!!
These look DELICIOUS!!!
These look so cute and delicious! Now I gotta get a cookie press!
Do you think 1tsp of lemon zest would enhance the Vanilla and Almond Flavor,?
Or, would it cause a conflict of flavors?
Your presentation was PERFECT.
Wow this was so easy to make and they taste great too, thank you so much for sharing!
i will try this recipe! ive had my cookie press for years and cant make it work. i will try to refrigerate the trays as you say, maybe the problem is that i live in hot area so the dough sticks to the press and tray. Refrigerating the dough isnt enough! Specially during Christmas which is the hottest time of the year. Thanks!
2:53 Wait....THAT'S WHAT THAT IS?!!! I found that in my late grandmother's stuff. My mom and I were JUST talking about getting a cookie press and we have one. Cool.
