Very good cookie which freezes well. Spritz cookies require a cookie press to make and an electric cookie press works best. The one pictured was purchased at Sears many years ago. Recipe may be halved and cookies freeze well..

I come from a strong Norwegian background, we bake Spritz cookies for Christmas religiously. I have NEVER heard of chocolate Spritz! To be honest, they look delicious, but don't know if I am ready for that world to change. :) My favorite is using real butter and almond flavoring instead of vanilla. Happy Baking!
I love Spritzer cookies. They are my easy go to recipe, but I've never tried chocolate.
It was great having you be a part of Seasonal Sundays!
