A few years ago I inherited my grandma’s cookie press, and now it’s a tradition to make these cookies every December.
I think she would be so pleased to know that her great grand daughters are using her cookie press. 🙂
These are a lot of fun, especially for kids and the recipe is really simple. Picking what shape of cookie to make and getting a little crazy with the sprinkles are the best parts….well and eating them too. 😉

Thanks Vicki!
OHHH, I remember making spritz cookies when I was a kid! I have a spritz press, but it’s not the same as my mom’s (which is like the one you have). Thanks for the reminder of these cookies — I think I’ll make some with the kids during Christmas break. 🙂
Thanks for stopping by Cheri. Have a Merry Christmas!
