CHRISTMAS (KISSMAS) ALMOND COOKIES
I found this recipe on the Hershey website. I changed the original recipe to add extra almond extract because when I tasted the dough, 1 tsp didnt seem like enough. You can add more if you feel it needs even more of an almondy taste.

ALMOND SPRITZ PRESS COOKIES
These are my hubby's favorite Christmas cookies. His Great Aunt Gin used to make them for him every year and it just isn't Christmas without them. She always made green Christmas Trees and pink Wreaths because those were her two favorite colors. Since they use all shortening they are a very crisp cookie. The recipe is originally from the cookbook that came with the Mirro cookie press. NOTE: you must sift the flour first and then measure or you will add too much flour and the dough will be too stiff! (If you prefer a butter cookie, I recommend Recipe #98883)

MANDELSPRITZGEBäCK (GERMAN CHRISTMAS ALMOND COOKIES)
I can't remember a single holiday season without this typical German cookie recipe. My Mom and my mother-in-law bake these cookies. As a child we helped bake them, and the fun part for us kids was always to "style" the cookies. I prefer them with any icing or decoration.

Steps:
- Preheat oven (375°F, 190°C).
- Grease baking trays.
- Mix butter with sugar until creamy. Add egg and egg yolk and mix until foamy.
- Add almonds and a few drops oil of bitter almonds.
- Add flour (mixed with baking powder) little by little and mix. The dough should be elastic, but will not be smooth.
- Fill in the dough into a cookie press with big star nozzle or better into a meat grinder with a big star nozzle.
- Make/press dough strings of about 2 to 3-inches. Form dough strings into rings, "S", horseshoes or any other shapes you like and place on baking tray.
- Bake for about 12 minutes. Cookies should still be light.
- NOTE: Oil of bitter almonds: if you can't find it, use almond extract.
- NOTE on cookie press: the dough is elastic but not smooth. So using a simple icing bag could be difficult. I use a meat grinder with a special cookie star nozzle. You can use a suited cookie press.
- NOTE on custom yield: I really can't give the correct custom yield. But the amount will make several baking trays. Baking time is given for one tray.

ALMOND JOY COOKIES
A friend of mine makesa cookie like this every Christmas and I had to beg for the recipe, she wouldn't share. I decided to give it a go and make my version. These taste just like an Almond Joy candy bar. It's definitely become a favorite. This recipe makes a huge batch of cookies. Depending on the size you make them. You can freeze the dough and have handy when unexpected company or events pop up. This recipe is easy to cut in half. I love the taste of the coconut and have added more to the half batch.
