Cant wait to make these for my family!!!!! -
Just like my grandma used to make! Great recipe, and so simple! -
This is the perfect spritz cookie! I added a little more sugar because I like them a little bit more sweet. I also cooked them for 9 min. Thank you!

Simple, quick, and very good. I used red and green food coloring (didn't keep any "plain" dough). Very pretty cookie, reminds me of Mom's holiday cookies. I baked one dozen for now, and put the dough in the freezer for later.
