Description
Spritz cookies are a holiday favorite! These are magic filled with just a drop of LunaGrown jam and sandwiched together for all your gifting and treating needs. This is our favorite recipe, however the options are endless.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup 1 stick Butter
- 1/2 cup shortening
- 3/4 cup of sugar
- 1 egg yolk (toss the white)
- 2 tsp vanilla flavoring
- 1 tsp almond flavoring
- 2 1/2 cups white all purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Combine butter, shortening, sugar, egg, and flavorings in a bowl and whip together. Make certain these ingredients are well combined and creamed.
- Add flour and salt. Mix well. This dough should easily pull away from the sides of your bowl.
- Roll dough into a ‘log’ shape and insert into your cookie press or pastry bag and press out your shapes. Cooler dough works best, very cold dough can be challenging and warm dough will just make a mess.
- Bake at 350° for 10 minutes. Make certain your oven is preheated!
- once the cookies have baked and cooled, sandwich 1/2 teaspoon of LunaGrown jam between two cookies. Place on a drying rack or flat surface overnight.
- Decorate the following day
Notes
Once the cookies have cooled you may place a dollop of your favorite jam in the center and sandwich another cookie on the top. Allow sandwiched cookies to sit on a flat surface overnight. This will give time for the cookie to absorb some of the jams moisture and for the jam to firm up. Hence you will get a nice soft cookie with a chewy center.
