Melt In Your Mouth Spritz Food

MELT IN YOUR MOUTH SPRITZ

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°.
• Mix dry ingredients and set aside.
• Cream butter, mix in powdered sugar.
• Add egg yolks, vanilla, and almond extract.
• Gradually beat in flour mixture.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Use a cookie press and decorate with colored sugar. Bake for 5 minutes and allow to cool for 2-3 on the sheet before transferring to wax paper or wire rack. I usually use two baking sheets so the one I am using isn't too warm or it will start to melt the dough and you'll have trouble with the press.

MELT-IN-YOUR-MOUTH SUGAR COOKIES

• In a large bowl, cream the butter, cream cheese and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg yolk and extracts. Combine the flour, salt and baking soda; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for 3 hours or until easy to handle., On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to 1/8-in. thickness. Cut with a floured 2-1/2-in. cookie cutter. Place 1 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 375° for 8-10 minutes or until edges begin to brown. Cool for 2 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks. Decorate as desired.

SPRITZ

Steps:

• Demo about using cookie press http://www.food.com/bb/viewtopic.zsp?t=243023.
• Set out the butter so it is at room temperature.
• Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
• In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar; add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition, add the vanilla.
• In a different bowl combine flour and baking powder; add this dry mixture to creamed mixture and mix well.
• If you want to add a drop of food coloring, do so.
• Put a portion of dough into the cookie press.
• Shape dough with cookie press. ( When I use the swirlie plate, I like to get some dough onto the cookie sheet with press' feet? down --whatever you call them- LOL-- right on the cookie sheet and then turn the screw gizmo about 3 rotations. The first few usually do not look the best but by about the third one I have it figured out.).
• Place on ungreased cookie sheet.
• Bake at 325 degrees for 14-15 minutes. If you use a dark cookie sheet it will take less time.

MELT IN YOUR MOUTH TOFFEE PECAN COOKIES

Steps:

• 1. pre-heat oven to 350*F.
• 2. Mix butter, add cake mix, eggs & water. Mix well with hand mixer.
• 3. Add toffee bits and pecans, mix by hand. If you like lots of nuts, feel free to add 3/4 to 1 Cup of pecans.
• 4. Spoon onto ungreased cookie sheet and bake at 350* for 10 minutes for small cookies. For larger cookies bake for 12-13 minutes. Transfer to cooling rack. They won't look done, but when they cool, they solidify, still being a soft chewy cookie.
