NORWEGIAN BUTTER COOKIES (SPRITZ)
According to my dad, after many other recipies were tested, this is the closest to his grandmother's Norwegian Butter Cookie recipe that he remembers from every Christmas growing up. His family is from the Chicago area, with a very large Norwegian/Swedish population.This recipe is adapted from Gourmet magazine. Many use a cookie press when doing this; dad said Greatgrandma always rolled the cookies into balls and flattened them with the bottom of a jelly glass, then decorated with colored sugars, so that's what I do. Sometimes I cross-hatch with a fork to better hold the sugar.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F In a large bowl cream the butter, beat in the sugar, a little at a time, the vanilla, and the almond extract, and beat the mixture until it is light and fluffy.
- Add the egg and combine the mixture well.
- Add the flour mixture and combine the dough well.
- Form the dough into walnut-size balls and arrange the balls 3 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets. Either flatten with the bottom of a glass or take a fork and using the back flatten the balls to approximately 1/2 inch to 1/3 inch thick, making a crosshatch design (like you see on peanut butter cookies). Sprinkle with colored sugar.
- Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until they are barely golden around the edges, and transfer them with a spatula to racks to cool. Store the cookies in airtight containers.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Beat together butter, sugar, and extracts in a large bowl with an electric mixer at moderately high speed until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add egg and beat well. Add flour mixture and mix at low speed until just combined.
- Quarter dough and put 1 piece into cookie press. Holding press slightly above ungreased baking sheets, squeeze out dough to form cookies (follow manufacturer's instructions), spacing them about 3 inches apart. Form more cookies with remaining dough in same manner.
- Bake cookies in batches in middle of oven until edges are golden, 10 to 15 minutes, then transfer with a metal spatula to racks to cool.
