Spritz cookies are a traditional Christmas cookie that I made with my Grandfather using my Great Grandmothers Swedish recipe. Often associated with Sweden they are however of German origin. Although they had become popular all over Europe by th 1500′s

Spritzgebaeck a German Christmas biscuit. The name comes from the German verb spritzen meaning to squirt as they are made using a cookie press.

  • 1 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 1 TBSP milk
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 2 cups flour

Mix together all ingredients and place in a cookie press. Squeeze out onto an ungreased cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes until edges are a light golden brown. Allow to cool slightly before removing.

This is not my video but it is a good cookie demonstration although our recipes are different.
