Claire's Swedish Spritz

Ingredients

• 1 cup butter
• 1 tsp. almond extract (more if you like)
• 2/3 cups sugar
• 2¼ cups flour
• 3 egg yolks

How to Make Swedish Spritz

1. Cream butter and sugar, then add egg yolks one at a time, beating between each addition.
2. Add the extract and flour (a little at a time).
3. Put through (thin) cookie press directly onto cookie sheet. Cover with colored sprinkles, and slice into pieces.
4. Bake in 350 degree oven for 10 minutes.

Notes

• Doubling recipe does not work well.
• Use a very good butter.
• Handle as little as possible.
• Place dough waiting to be used in a plastic container, as it will dry out, and be harder to press.
• Remove from cookie sheet immediately.
