Steps:
- Add the very soft (but not melted) butter, sugar, and vanilla extract to a large bowl. Using your hand or stand mixer with the normal beaters, mix everything for around 4 minutes until creamy.
- Add the egg and egg yolk to the bowl and keep beating for 2-3 minutes until they are mixed in.
- In another bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Give everything a quick stir.
- Switch your mixer attachment to the spiral dough hooks. Then add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients in small increments while beating. Keep mixing until the flour is fully mixed in.
- Cover the bowl and let the dough rest for 30 minutes. If you are using a piping bag (the same kind of bag also used for cake/cupcake decorating) or a cookie press, let the dough rest at room temperature. If you're using a meat grinder for this recipe, place the dough in the fridge for 30 minutes so it can chill.
- Once the time is up, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line your baking sheet(s) with parchment paper.
- Now, prepare your piping bag, cookie press, or meat grinder - we usually use a piping bag. You'll want to use a large star tip with your piping bag or cookie press. The larger the opening, the easier the dough will be to push through. Also, the softer the dough, the easier it'll come out of the piping bag.
- Now shape the spritz cookies. You can make whichever shapes you want. Circles with an open hole in the middle, S-shapes, or straight lines are classic choices for Spritz cookie shapes. Some people also like to write their names with the cookie dough. Just make sure to create the letters large enough (and leave enough space in between) since the cookies will rise/expand a bit in the oven.
- Place the cookies on the parchment paper and bake them one baking sheet at a time in the oven for 12-16 minutes until the ends are slightly brown. It takes exactly 13 minutes in our oven but since every oven cooks differently, your baking time might vary slightly. When taking the cookies out of the oven they might still feel a tiny bit soft - that's fine (as long as the bottom is lightly browned). They'll harden once cooled.
- Remove the cookies from the baking sheet and place them on a cooling rack.
- OPTIONAL: Once the cookies have cooled, you can prepare the chocolate glaze by melting chocolate chips either in the microwave, in a pot on the stove, or in a hot water bath. You can use any type of chocolate chips (depending on how sweet you want it to taste). We like using semi-sweet chocolate chips. Once the chocolate chips are fully melted, carefully dip parts of the cookies into the melted chocolate and then place them back onto the cooling rack (place some of the parchment paper underneath for easier clean-up). Let the chocolate glaze fully harden before consuming or storing them. Enjoy!

- Prepare the dough by adding together all ingredients (best if they're all at room temperature), and then kneading until you achieve a smooth, firm dough. Cover in wrap and rest in the fridge for one hour.
- Remove dough from fridge and gradually press through a spritz cookie press, then bake in a 180 degree Celsius, 355 degree Fahrenheit (second rack from bottom) for 10 to 15 minutes or until just starting to turn golden. Transfer to a cooling rack.
- Once cool, melt together the chocolate and oil in a double boiler. I use a stainless steel bowl sitting in a pot filled with some water. Once melted, dip the cookies and transfer back to the baking sheet. Feel free to sprinkle with some dry-roasted, crushed almond slices, or chopped hazelnuts or other nuts. Once dry, store in an airtight container for several weeks (if they last you that long!).

- In a mixing bowl, place the butter and beat it with an electric whisk/hand mixer till fluffy. Add the sugar, vanilla and salt and mix till everything is well incorporated.
- Add the flour in parts and stir in. Add the almond flour and knead the mixture into a soft dough. The dough should be soft enough to be squirted out of the piping bag, so adjust the consistency of the mixture by adding an egg yolk at a time. Test the consistency by placing a little dough into the piping bag and squirting out a little. The squirting should be effortless in order to get reasonably large cookies without breaking off the dough (which will happen if your dough is too dry)
- Transfer the prepared mixture into the piping bag fitted with the star nozzle and pipe the mixture into 3 inch lengths onto the baking sheet.
