Spritz Cookies
1 1/4 cups flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter, softened (no substitutes)
1/2 cup confectioners sugar
1 egg yolk
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Sift together the flour and salt; set aside. In a medium bowl, cream together the butter and sugar. Stir in the egg yolk, almond extract and vanilla extract. Gradually blend in the sifted ingredients. Fill a cookie press with dough and shoot cookies about 1 1/2 inches apart onto an ungreased cookie sheet. If you like, decorate with sugar or sprinkles at this time. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until cookies just start to turn golden around the edges.

I love spritz cookies too but haven't made them in a long time. I have an electric cookie press and it makes for a really quick baking session.
My favorite, too! I have Mom's recipe and her cookie press, but I just don't seem to get them just like hers. Maybe someday......
