We love Spritz cookies! Even though I am a little behind this year, this is on my list of things to bake this week! Yours turned out so perfect! You have a great touch with the cookie press.
I love to make green wreaths and trees with different colored candies and pointsettas with red hots for the centers.
The cookies look yummy!
I am so far behind on my baking and your post is inspiring me to get busy.
How cute are these.
This week on my blog I am hosting a Holiday Treats week, hope you will stop by and link up.
These look yummy, and good old fashioned Christmas cookies. I'd love it if you linked this recipe up to my all Holiday recipe link party. Feel free to link up any other holiday recipes as well.

Visiting via Tuesday Night Supper Club...
These look so easy and sweet! They'd be a nice addition to a cookie tray.
Your cookies are just lovely. These would dress up any cookie platter. By the way, I'm holding a giveaway on my blog for Orglamix Organic makeup and you're welcome to come by and enter. http://sweet-as-sugar-cookies.blogspot.com/2010/12/orglamix-organic-mineral-makeup-review.html
I was super excited to see these! My family makes them every year for Christmas (they are my dad's favorite) but my boyfriend had never heard of them. I'm glad to see someone else makes them too!
Yummy! Thanks for linking up to Mad Skills Mondays!
Those are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO pretty!!!!! Almost too pretty to eat...oh who am I kidding...I'd polish off a platter of them! ;)
spritz cookies make me smile. when i was a kid we had the aluminum spritz gun and my sister and i would fight over who got to make the trees! we never colored ours but always used sprinkles to decorate. it has been years since i have made a deliciously buttery spritz cookie. thank you for bringing this great memory to tuesday night supper club!
I love these! They bring back many memories! I would be thrilled if you stopped by my Commercial Break Thursday at http://suzysartsycraftsysitcom.blogspot.com/ and linked this project!

Thanks for sharing.
Would love you to link it up to my premier Food Fight Link party!

The cookies look yummy!
Happy pink saturday!!
Hi,
I love Spritz cookies & yours turned out great. Like I remember.
I have my Mom's cookie press from the 50's & we used to make these every year & they looked like yours.
I tried last year & mine did not turn out. The dough was too soft & did not take shape.
Any suggestions? (I bake all the time but these didn't work).
Thanks monah, please visit me too.
such an unexpected delightful memory! My mama used to make these when I was little in the 60's. I'm thrilled to have the recipe! Thanks for sharing and Merry Pinks to you and your family!
Like the cookies..I am your new follower. See you.
I love that it's snowing on your blog!
