Sprintz Cookies

... my favorite "spritz" cookie recipe...


3/4 C. butter or margarine (none of the reduced calorie stuff!)
1-1/2 C. granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2-1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp vanilla
1-1/2 tsp almond extract (optional)
4 tsp. milk
food coloring (optional)
2-3/4 C. flour.

Blend butter & sugar 'till creamy. Add all other ingredients (except flour) &
mix thoroughly. Add flour & mix well. Chill dough before pressing/forming &
cooking.

Load cookie press & "squeeze out" your favorite shape. ALTERNATE: Form dough
into small balls, about 1" diameter. Dip the bottom of a drinking glass into
granulated sugar & gently partially flatten each dough ball with the sugared
glass. Repeat for each dough ball.

Bake @ 400 degrees about 8-10 min or until golden-brown.
