Mr. Claus

Our annual tradition of making Spritz cookies....

1 cup butter or margarine, softened

1/2 cup sugar

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 tsp. salt

1 egg

1 tsp. almond extract or vanilla

Heat oven to 400 degrees.  Cream butter and sugar. 

Blend in remaining ingredients. 

Fill cookie press with 1/4 of dough at a time;

form desired shapes on ungreased baking sheet. 

Bake 6 to 9 minutes or until set but not brown.

YUM!
