If I had to celebrate the holidays with only one cookie, it would be the buttery, almondy Spritz! This family recipe hails from the iconic Betty Crocker(R) Cooky Book. My absolute favorite variation contains Hershey's chocolate in the middle.
1 C. butter, softened
1/2 C. sugar
2 1/4 C. flour
1/4 tsp. salt
1 egg
1/4 tsp. almond extract
Food color, if desired
Beat butter and sugar in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed, or mix with spoon. Stir in flour, salt, egg, almond extract and a few drops of food color.
Place dough in cookie press. Form desired shapes on ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake @ 400* for 6-8 minutes, until set but not brown ... at all!
Remove from pan immediately; decorate with sprinkles if desired.
