What Are Spritz Cookies?<\/h2>\n

No holiday dessert table is complete without a heaping plate of festive spritz cookies! These classic Christmas cookies are buttery and crisp like shortbread, but they melt in your mouth just like soft sugar cookies.<\/p>\n

Spritz cookies get their name from the German word, “spritzen,” which means “to squirt.” It’s an apt name for cookies that are made by squeezing the dough through a cookie press \u2014 which is how the unique shapes are created!<\/p>\n

These cookies are made with just a few basic ingredients, and you can add food coloring to make them as festive or simple as you’d like. Colored sanding sugar finishes off the cookies and adds a delightful crunch that complements the buttery cookie dough perfectly.<\/p>\n
