Sandy's Spritz

In keeping with the eclectic feel of my blog - and my life - here is my favorite Spritz recipe.  It's from the old Betty Crocker Cookbook that my mom got when she was married.  It's a rich cookie, but oh so good!

Sandy’s Spritz

1 Cup soft butter
2/3 Cup sugar
3 egg yolks
1 tsp. vanilla
2 ½ Cups flour


Mix together the butter, sugar, egg yolks and vanilla. Add the flour gradually, working in with hands.
If dough is too soft, cover and refrigerate until firm enough to form cookies, 30 to 45 minutes. Place dough in cookie press. Form desired shapes 1 inch apart on cookie sheets. Bake at 400 F for about 7-10 minutes.
Yield: approximately 6 dozen
