Great-Grandma's Almond Spritz Cookies
Ingredients
  • 2 cups butter
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 1 egg white
  • 2 tablespoons almond extract
  • 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to the desired temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit, or equivalently, 175 degrees Celsius.
2
Next, lightly coat a baking sheet with a thin layer of oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
3
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the butter until it becomes smooth and airy. Gradually incorporate sugar into the mixture while continuously beating, resulting in a noticeable change in color.
4
Add the egg yolks one at a time to the butter mixture, allowing each egg to fully incorporate before adding the next. This will help create a smooth and consistent texture.
5
In a separate bowl, whip the egg whites until they become light and fluffy. Add a hint of almond extract to enhance the flavor.
6
Gradually add small amounts of flour to the mixture while continuously beating, ensuring that it is fully incorporated and forms a cohesive dough.
7
Using a cookie press, shape the dough onto the prepared baking sheet in desired shapes and sizes.
8
Then, bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
9
Finally, allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 1 minute before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
