Almond flavored buttery cookies are always a holiday favorite. These tender cookies are bite-size delicacies and are perfect without any adornments. But I canât resist, these cookies just sing out to be decorated with sugar sprinkles, glitter, dragees, or even candied fruits. I like adding a red or green candied cherry half to the center of the wreath shapes, but better yet, try a bit of fruitcake glace mix. Spritz cookies are a Scandinavian cookie, named for the German word spritzen, meaning âto squirt,â and are pressed from a cookie press or piped from a pastry bag. This recipe makes dough that is extremely easy to work with and the perfect consistency for pressing through a cookie press.
