Classic Buttery Spritz Cookies<\/strong> are easy and delicious to make in shapes with a cookie press, but they can be made without a press, too! My favorite spritz cookies recipe that is perfect for decorating and sharing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking for more festive treats? You’ll love homemade candies like Peppermint Bark <\/a>and Peanut Brittle<\/a>, as well as easy Fudge<\/a> and snowy white Wedding Cookies<\/a> (also known as Pecan Sandies or Snowball Cookies)! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Classic Buttery Spritz Cookies are such festive and delicious cookies! This spritz cookies recipe makes cookies that are buttery, so easy to make and hold their shape well. While they taste similar to sugar cookies, they differ from cut out sugar cookies<\/a>, which are rolled and cut into shapes with cookie cutters, in that they are typically piped through a cookie press. My Chewy Sugar Cookies<\/a> are made without cutting into shapes and I share how to make my spritz cookies even if you don’t have a cookie press. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One favorite thing about these cookies is decorating them! I like to decorate mine with a simple glaze and sprinkles. They make for a favorite cookie throughout the year, but especially during Christmas on a Christmas Cookie Tray<\/a>! I can’t wait for you to try them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

    Make Ahead and Freezing Instructions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    This spritz cookie dough does not require chilling before making the cookies. (Chilled dough is harder to press through the cookie press.) But you can make the dough ahead and freeze the cookies as well. These cookies freeze well and taste just as delicious after freezing! You can either freeze cookies after they are baked (plain or glazed) or before baking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    To make ahead the spritz cookie dough<\/strong> – Make the dough as instructed and wrap it well before refrigerating. It will keep in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. When ready to press the dough to make cookies, remove the dough from the fridge and allow it to reach room temperature, then follow the instructions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    To freeze unbaked cookies<\/strong> – Place pressed or formed spritz cookies onto a parchment-paper-lined baking sheet and place into the freezer until the unbaked cookies are firmly frozen, or about 30 minutes. Transfer to an airtight, freezer-safe container layering the unbaked frozen cookies between parchment paper. Freeze for up to 3 months. When ready to bake, thaw completely in the refrigerator. Then follow the instructions for baking and glazing the cookies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    To freeze baked cookies before glazing<\/strong> – Allow the baked spritz cookies to cool completely. Place cookies on parchment paper baking sheet and place in the freezer until firmly frozen, or about 30 minutes. Transfer to an airtight, freezer-safe container layering between parchment paper. Freeze for up to 3 months. When ready to serve, allow the cookies to thaw in the refrigerator. Then follow the instructions for the Spritz Cookie Glaze. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    To freeze baked cookies after glazing<\/strong> – Allow the glaze and any other decorations on the cookies to dry completely. Place the cookies on a rimmed baking sheet, cover them in foil or plastic freezer wrap, and place them in the freezer. After the cookies are frozen, or about 30 minutes, remove them from the baking sheet and place them in an airtight, freezer-safe container. Store in the freezer for up to 3 months. When ready to serve, remove from the freezer and thaw in the refrigerator. Serve once the cookies are completely thawed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
