Super Shooter Whipped Shortbread Spritz Cookies
"This recipe is reported to work well in the Proctor-Silex Super Shooter or Super Shooter Plus cookie press. It will also work with other cookie presses if the dough is refrigerated first. I lost my recipe book for the Super Shooter and found most spritz cookie recipes to be too stiff to work in my machine. I found this recipe through Google searches at www.christmas-cookies.com."

When I was young, my mother always made lots of shortbread cookies and lots of spritz cookies from two different recipes. I have always done the same, out of tradition. The shortbread cookies were very time-consuming to roll out, and frequently very frustrating. This recipe is great! I can get the look of the spritz with the melt-in-your-mouth taste of the shortbread all in one...and without the frustration. I will never make both recipes again. Thank you! -
These are my Christmas time favorites! My mom made this recipe and used orange extract and it was wonderful!! A really great recipe that is quick, and you can do multiple variations to create great cookie platters. -
This is a very nice recipe to use with the SuperShooter. I had no problems at all getting it to go and I got tons of cookies out of the recipe. While I like the texture of the cookies a lot, they aren't quite sweet enough for our tastes. I'm not sure if adding more sugar would ruin the recipe or not, but I plan on trying it. Thanks!

I am the mother of three (one grown, one in middle school and one in high school). I have grandchildren who we invite over regularly to spend the night. We have lots of fun and a very full house!
I do all of the baking and my husband cooks all the dinners. He loves to BBQ and cook and he is GOOD at it! He is wonderful with the children and I appreciate him so!
I enjoy gardening, crafts, sewing, and crocheting, pets, and all kinds of "kid fun".
If I had a month off I would spend it somewhere on the coast with just my sweetie and a view of the sea. I would miss the kids terribly so I would have them visit us in the hotel (that of course has room service) on Thursdays,Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays for swimming, walks, beach-combing, dune climbing and dune buggy rides, movies, church, and the hottub!
