Spritz Cookies These tender, buttery cookies are a simple and delicious way to reach out to longtime and new friends to show you care. They’re superfast to make and will last for two weeks in an airtight container: keep them on hand for unexpected drop-ins!

INGREDIENTS 1 ½ cups Butter, at room temperature 1 cup Sugar 1 Egg 1 tsp Baking Powder ½ tsp Salt 1 tsp Vanilla

1 tsp Almond Extract (or Peppermint, Lemon or other of choice) 3 ½ cups Bob’s Red Mill® Unbleached White All-Purpose Flour or Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free 1-to-1 Baking Flour

Gel Food Coloring, optional Sprinkles of choice, optional

INSTRUCTIONS • Place ungreased and unlined baking sheets in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 375°F. • In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter. Add sugar, egg, baking powder, salt, vanilla and extracts, beating until combined. Add flour gradually until a soft dough is formed. If desired, add food coloring and mix until evenly colored. • Pack unchilled dough into a cookie press fitted with your disc of choice, pressing with fingers to make sure there are no large gaps in the dough. • Press cookies onto chilled baking sheets according to cookie press manufacturer instructions. Add sprinkles if desired, and place sheets back in the fridge to chill for 15 minutes. • Bake for 8–10 minutes, until firm but not browned. Let cool for 5 minutes, then remove to wire racks to cool completely. Makes about 6 dozen cookies.

#HolidayHack: Ungreased baking sheets are essential, so the dough will stick and release from the cookie press!
