    Almond Spritz Press Cookies, These are my hubby’s favorite Christmas cookies. His Great Aunt Gin used to make them for him every year and it just isn’t Christmas without them. She always made green Christmas Trees and pink Wreaths because those were her two favorite colors. Since they use all shortening they are a very crisp cookie. The recipe is originally from the cookbook that came with the Mirro cookie press. NOTE: you must sift the flour first and then measure or you will add too much flour and the dough will be too stiff! If you prefer a butter cookie, I recommend Recipe #98883, I have been making this almond sprit cookie for years but now it will not come out of the cookie spritz. What’s wrong?, I have been making these for almost 50 years! They are simply GOOD!
