Spritz cookies: master these delicate, buttery Rose Neapolitan swirls. Perfect for holidays or any special occasion, with easy piping techniques.
Ingredients
- 1 cup (226g) butter, (room temperature)
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg, (room temperature)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon almond extract
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon strawberry extract
- pink gel food coloring
- ¼ cup cocoa, (in replace of flour and no almond extract)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine butter, granulated sugar, egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract. Blend at medium speed until creamy, scraping the bowl often.
- Add all-purpose flour and salt to the mixture. Blend at a low speed until well mixed. Divide the dough into desired portions if you plan to tint it.
- For colored dough: Add strawberry extract and pink gel food coloring to one portion of dough, mixing until evenly colored. For chocolate dough: replace almond extract with cocoa powder in a separate portion of dough.
- Insert a 1M or 2D tip into a pastry bag. Fill the bag with the cookie dough. If the dough is a bit warm from the warmth of your hands, it may be easier to pipe.
- Pipe out decorative cookie shapes onto an ungreased cookie sheet.
- Bake for 5 to 8 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden.
