CREAM CHEESE SPRITZ COOKIES

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• 2. On a medium speed, cream butter and cream cheese until creamy; add sugar. Mix until light and fluffy.
• 3. Mix in egg yolk and favorings.
• 4. Reduce speed to low on mixer and gradually add flour and salt. Cookie dough will be soft. Add additional flour if too sticky. However, don't add so much that the dough is too stiff to go through your press.
• 5. You can now color your dough with food coloring if desired. I work with 1/4 of the dough at a time. Form 3 balls of dough and load into the canister or you can form a log. Just don't add to much or it will be difficult to work with.
• 6. Press into desired shape on to a cookie sheet. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the edges turn a light brown. IF using sprinkles or colored sugars add before baking to ensure they stick, otherwise you will need to frost the cookies to make spinkles or sugar stick.
• 7. TIPS: dough must be pliable, if very warm, chill a short time, if too cold, it will crmble only use a 1/4 of the dough at a time, so it doesn't warm up if baking sheet is too warm, fat in the dough will melt and cookies will pull away from sheet when press is lifted freezing your cookie sheet will help cookies to release from press and hold to the sheet when lifted spraying canister with cooking spray help with the ease of pressing the dough through the canister
• 8. Use sprinkles, colored sugars, candy beads, m&m's, gumdrops, etc to decorate your cookies. You can glaze and decorate after baking or add sprinkles before baking to ensure they stick or just bake and eat them plain. You can use a dab of buttercream frosting to stick decorative candies on your cookies... Have fun!

CREAM CHEESE SPRITZ COOKIES

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 375°F. With a stand mixer (use the paddle attachment) or a hand mixer, beat the butter, cream cheese, and sugar in a large bowl on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Add the egg yolk and vanilla and beat again until blended. Add the flour and mix on low speed until blended. Fit a cookie press with a die plate. Scoop up about a quarter of the dough and, using a small amount of flour if needed, shape the dough into a log just narrower than the barrel of the cookie press. Slide the log into the cookie press and spritz the cookies directly onto ungreased baking sheets about 1 inch apart. Brush the tops with the beaten egg white and sprinkle with colored sugar if using. Repeat with the remaining dough. Bake until the cookies are just golden around the edges, 10 to 12 minutes (it's best to bake one sheet at a time). Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet on a rack for 5 minutes before transferring them to a rack to cool completely. Be sure the baking sheet is cool before spritzing more cookies. Store at room temperature or freeze in an airtight container, separating the cookie layers with waxed paper.
