Classic Spritz Cookies
(from spferreira’s recipe box)
This recipe was included in the box with the Pampered Chef cookie press I purchased. Notes: Do not use disk #10 for cookies. Variation: Chocolate Spritz Cookies: increase sugar to 1 1/2 cups. Decrease flour to 3 cups. Combine flour and 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder in medium mixing bowl; blend well. Proceed as recipe directs.
