These cookies are a family tradition every Christmas in my family, especially in tree or wreath form! The cream cheese gives regular spritz cookies a nice little boost.
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter, at room temperature
- 1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese, at room temperature
- ½ cup white sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 8 drops green food coloring, or as desired (Optional)
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Step 2
Cream butter and cream cheese together in a bowl using an electric mixer; add sugar and beat well. Mix in vanilla extract and food coloring. Slowly add flour and mix well to combine.
Step 3
Fill a cookie press with dough and form cookies onto ungreased cookie sheets.
Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven until edges are set, 8 to 10 minutes, making sure to remove at the first hint of browning.
Cook’s Note:
If you want to add sprinkles, brush tops of cookies with egg white and add sprinkles prior to baking.
