Swedish Spritz Cookies

A delightful dance of buttery bliss! These melt-in-your-mouth wonders are a traditional Swedish Christmas recipe. The cookies are small, tender, and addictive. 

Note that this recipe is made with a “cookie press,” a fun kitchen tool that makes those cute fluffy shapes. Spritz means “to squirt” in German because you are squirting the dough using the cookie press onto a baking sheet. The taste is similar to shortbread cookies but has an even more melt-in-the-mouth taste since you don’t have to chill or handle the dough.

If you’d prefer not to order a cookie press, then here is our recipe for shortbread cookies.
