I actually made a sugar-free version of this cookie and it came out wonderful! I substituted a generic version of Splenda in the same quantity as the sugar listed in the recipe and I used 1 tsp almond extract and 2 tsp. vanilla for the flavorings...I really thought they were great. I have a small home-baking hobby and I have a lot of friends who love for me to do their baking for them...so this will be guinea-tested on some of my diabetic friends who have been feeling left out.

I agree with some of the comments about the flour-y flavor. I used unsalted butter but the last time I loaded my cookie press I mixed in a little salt. Next time I would put in more and I think it helped the flavor. I might also use some sprinkle sugar on top for sweetness. I would consider making this recipe again. I also used whole wheat flour (only flour I have) and substituted the vanilla for almond. The WW worked fine.

The recipe is absolutely delicious and super easy. The dough also comes together perfectly. The only complaint I had was that a few of mine got slightly brown around the edges which would be fine for other cookies but never for spritz. The solution is very simple however: Bake only 6 minutes and they will come out perfectly. Most spritz recipes call for only 6-8 minutes anyway.

I would honestly give this recipe 20 stars if I could!! I'd never used a cookie press before and this recipe made it so simple. I made the cookies with the Christmas tree stencil for my family for the holidays and they were a HUGE hit. My mother especially couldn't stop eating them! I'll be making another batch for her next week for her Valentine birthday. I used orange extract instead of vanilla and they're just luscious. I can't wait to try the recipe with other flavors like maple or almond. Or maybe lemon poppy seed! The possibilities are endless with this wonderful, simple, delicious recipe!

One of the best Spritz cookies I have made. I used to use my mom's recipe, now I have my own. I had to make another batch the next day, my husband ate all our "Santa" cookies that night. Wonderful cookie. One note, to make cookie more formed when using cookie press, refrigerate in bowl 30 minutes before pressing.

Excellent, thanks for sharing! Very easy to work with using my cookie press - after refrigerating. Made one batch with vanilla & one with almond - both were yummy!!

Sorry, but I don't understand the ppositive reviews for this recipe. I followed it precisely and it turned out really bland. Adding salt would have probably helped a bit, but as is this recipe was a waste of ingredients. I give it two stars because it made cookies with shapes that held up nicely, but that is about it.

Well...I followed the recipe to the T, and ended up with a dough way to soft...I ended up having to roll them in balls, and while they were edible, nothing special and I kind of feel like I wasted 2 sticks of butter. I chilled it for 15 minutes, and it was still to sticky for my electric cookie press...I really hate to write a less than glowing review, but I'd hate for anyone to be disappointed as I was. I'm off to try another recipe!

This was a very good recipe to use in a cookie press. I had no problems working the dough through the press. I used light butter (all I had), added a little extra sugar and vanilla extract, and turned out good. I did lower the temp to F 350 (for 10 min) after my first batch burned, and that worked fine. cookies had a nice, simple butter flavor.

The raw dough tasted great, but I didn't care for the baked cookies. They were bland, and lacked flavor. Mine didn't hold their shape during baking, so they didn't even look pretty when done.

I found that 24 servings made about 5 dozen small cookies, and I also only baked the cookies for 5 min..but then again I don't like crunchy cookies

These turned out great. I prefer a little more vanilla flavor so next time I will add a little more. But the dough was perfect for our cookie press and the cookies turned out great. I cooked them for 8 minutes.

very good! I couldn't bake the cookies the day I made the dough, so I refrigerated it until the next day. It took a while to soften but once it did it worked wonderfully! A wonderful basic recipe.

Quick & easy. Perfect when family is wanting some home baking NOW. I made plain ones and added several types of sprinkles to the rest. Also, make a double batch if you want any for yourself.
