What it is
These are delicate, buttery cookies shaped using a cookie press. They have a light, crisp texture and a sweet, simple flavor. The dough is typically made with flour, butter, sugar, and egg, creating a smooth consistency perfect for pressing into decorative shapes. They are often enjoyed during holidays and special occasions.
How people cook with it

- Holiday cookie trays
- Afternoon tea accompaniment
- Simple dessert
- Gift boxes
To make these cookies, the dough is chilled until firm enough to hold its shape when pressed. A cookie press with various decorative discs is used to extrude the dough directly onto a baking sheet. The cookies are then baked until they are lightly golden around the edges. They can be decorated with sprinkles before baking or with icing and edible glitter after they have cooled.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to drop cookies, spritz cookies are formed with a press, resulting in uniform and intricate shapes. Their texture is typically crisper and less chewy than many other cookie varieties due to the higher butter content and specific baking method.
Who it is for
Home bakers who enjoy creating visually appealing and classic cookies often choose spritz.
How to keep the rest
Store any leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature. They will maintain their crispness for several days. Avoid stacking them too high to prevent breakage. For longer storage, they can be frozen.
