Subject: OVO-LACTO: Butter Spritz Cookies
This recipe came from my 90 year old aunt who got it from her mother
and so on. She used to make these every year for Christmas. They come
out best when made with a cookie press.

Butter Spritz Cookies
1 C. butter (or margarine)
3/4 C. sugar
1 egg or 3 yolks
1/2 t. baking powder
1/8 t. salt
1 t. almond extract or vanilla (I use 1/2 t. each)
2 1/2 C. all purpose flour
Optional: decoration candies
Cream butter. Add sugar and egg. Cream again. Add extract, flour,
baking powder, and salt. Mix til smooth. Use cookie press or roll into
balls and then press flat. Can be decorated with candies, beads, etc.
Bake at 350F about 8 minutes or until golden.
Tips: Keep the batter as cool as possible. Once the batter warms up,
it gets sticky and hard to manage. High altitude: I experiment
with adding a little extra flour to stiffen the batter a bit.
Also need to watch the cooking time. They seem to cook a little
faster above 5000'.
Enjoy!
