When I think holiday cookie, my first thought goes straight to these Classic Spritz Cookies. Not only are they so dainty and pretty, they’re quite delicious as well.
In the bowl of a standing mixer, or with an electric mixer, cream together the butter, sugar and salt until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
Add the egg, egg yolk and vanilla and mix until combined. Gradually add the flour and mix until a dough forms.
Place the dough in a cookie spritzer fitted with desired shapes. Press cookies onto a parchment-lined cookie sheet and bake for 10 minutes, or until edges are just starting to turn golden.
