these were just okay. The taste was good but I had a hard time getting them to come through my cookie press. I'll stick with the Spritz cookie I got out of Midwest Living magazine many years ago.

This is the recipe I have been using for years (but out of an old family cookbook. If you have trouble with the "dough" sticking in your tube, try wrapping a one tube amount of dough in wax paper and chill for an hour. We live in Florida where it is humid year-round (whether it is hot or cold outside) and that helps a bit.

This is it. I've been searching for a recipe that tastes exactly like my grandmother's butter cookies... I have fond memories of baking them with her when I was little. She died four years ago and every time I ask my mom for this recipe she said "Oh it's here, somewhere..." I went through most of the spritz/butter cookie recipes on this site and I knew for a fact my grandma did not use cream cheese in hers, so those were automatically thrown out. I tried one using regular granulated sugar, but it wasn't right... THIS one is right. The taste and texture is spot on. The only thing I did was increase the vanilla. For those who think this cookie has an after taste - I guess make sure you use high quality butter. This is one recipe where you shouldn't use 'generic' or cheaper butter, since the flavor is dominant.

The taste is delicious, plus they went through the cookie press perfectly. I mean, perfectly. I used room temperature unsalted butter, and put the dough through the press right away.

I was a bit disapointed with this recipe. There was just not enough flavor. I had to up the extracts to a couple teaspoons to get the cookies to taste more like cookies. The version I made with peppermint extract was also much better. This cookies i also felt did not hold their shape too well after being baked. I followed all the directions and cooled the baking sheets but the cookies melted too fast i think.

This is a delicious recipe and very easy. The dough was a bit stiff to pipe or press, so I added a bit of half & half until it was a little less firm. They baked up beautifully. I actually piped them into 4 inch bars and dipped half of each cookie in chocolate. Wonderful!

Love the taste of the cookies. I have a hard time with spritz cookies and have to keep putting in the fridge to be able to get it to come out of the press okay. I love the taste of these though. They went first at Christmas.

I love the touch of almond flavor in these. They were eaten quickly at Christmas. My mom even said they are better than hers! That is quite a compliment!

This recipe is Excellent, easy to work with and needs no chilling. I did find out you need to use a clean cookie sheet for each pan you bake, otherwise they won't come off the press. I even used my "old school" cookie press and they turned out great!

I can't rate this fairly. I don't know what happened with these cookies! I followed the recipe to a "T" and they turned out horrible trough the cookie press and melted out like pancakes in the oven. They definitely had too much almond extract. I just can't seem to make good cokies with a cookie press.... *sigh*

These are wonderful! The perfect consistency, soft in the middle and crunchy on the outside. I replaced the almond with peppermint extract and it gives them a little something different. These are so much better than the ones that came with the spritzer!

Absolutely the best cookies for a cookie press. The dough is just right and not gooey at all and they are delicious! I'll make this recipe from now on.

Not yummmy as many have indicated...playdough more than cookie dough. This recipe needs major modifications with the extracts and cooking time in order to gain a better rating :(

Excellent! This is my first attempt at spritz, and so much easier than I remember from growing up! These taste great. Tip, if you add food coloring you may need to add more flour as well! :D Happy cookie baking! These are delicious!
