Buttery Classic Spritz Cookies Recipe

Yield: About 4 dozen cookies
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 8-10 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes


Ingredients

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (or almond extract for variation)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • Food coloring, sprinkles, or colored sugar for decorating (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or leave them ungreased if you prefer a crispier bottom.

Step 2: Make the Dough

  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar together with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Add the egg, vanilla extract, and salt, mixing until well combined.
  3. Gradually add the flour, mixing just until the dough forms a smooth, soft consistency. Avoid over-mixing to keep the cookies tender.
