Swedish Spritz

This recipe is passed down from Grandma Frankman, and is a traditional Christmas treat made in the Frankman household.

Directions:

• 1 cup butter (at room temperature) creamed with
• 3/4 cup sugar

then add:

• 3 egg yoks
• 1/4 tsp. almond extract
• 1 tsp vanilla

Mix well and then add:

• 1/4 tsp salt sifted together with
• 13.5 oz (~ 2 1/2 cups sifted) flour

Put dough in cookie press and press onto ungreased cookie sheets (we prefer to use a silicone baking mat on a cookie sheet). Make cookies in shapes of candy canes, wreaths and christmas trees. Decorate with red and green sprinkles and red hots. Bake in 400 degree oven for 8-10 minutes, or until tips are just turning golden brown.
