Some make bring out their spritz cookie press only around Christmas,

flag cookies @createdbydiane

Spritz cookies are buttery and light and oh so delicious.

You can use a spritz press or a piping tip fitted on a piping bag.

The tip you’ll need is long and flat on one side and wavy on the other.

Pipe 2 inches for each cookie.

piping spritz cookies in a piping bag @createdbydiane

I used a 898 piping tip on a pastry bag. If you have a spritz press there is a disk to use.

I’ve used both with great results. If you use a piping bag be sure to use the “canvas” type of bag, cookie dough is thicker than frosting and as you press the dough out plastic bags will tend to break easily.

Place a blue star in the corner of the cookies and add red, white, and blue nonpareil sprinkles before baking.

If you are filling the cookies the recipes I use for whipped cream cheese frosting is delicious. After you pipe the frosting onto the back side of one cookie and place another cookie to “sandwich” it together

After you pipe the frosting onto the back side of one cookie and place another cookie to “sandwich” it together dip the frosted edges in sprinkles, then refrigerate the cookies so the frosting sets nicely. They can be served cold or at room temperature. To keep the cookies fresh store in the refrigerator.

adding sprinkles to baked cookies @createdbydiane

 

If you happen to bake cookies and then decide you want sprinkles on them and know they won’t stick on their own, add a super thin amount of corn syrup and then add sprinkles.

If you happen to forget sprinkles and want to add them after the cookies are baked you can add a small amount of corn syrup to the tops of the cookies and then add sprinkles, or a thin coat of glaze icing will work too. HERE is a post on icing cookies and glaze icing.
