SUPER SHOOTER WHIPPED SHORTBREAD SPRITZ COOKIES

Super Shooter Whipped Shortbread Spritz Cookies image

This recipe is reported to work well in the Proctor-Silex Super Shooter or Super Shooter Plus cookie press. It will also work with other cookie presses if the dough is refrigerated first. I lost my recipe book for the Super Shooter and found most spritz cookie recipes to be too stiff to work in my machine. I found this recipe through Google searches at www.christmas-cookies.com.

SUPER SHOOTER BASIC SPRITZ COOKIES

Super Shooter Basic Spritz Cookies image

I found this at www.proctorsilex.com. I lost the recipe book for my super shooter plus years ago and found that regular spritz cookie recipes don't work in it!. I haven't yet tried this one yet, but will soon. I hope to add a few drops each of orange flavoring and yellow and red food coloring. I used to make a flower cookie with a "red hots" candy center that was so cute and always got compliments.

SUPER SPRITZ COOKIES

Super Spritz Cookies image

I got this recipe from the Super Shooter Idea Book. After trying different recipes, this one's my favorite. I think the rich flavor comes from the three egg yolks. I recommend using butter rather than margerine. It really gives the cookies that special flavor.
