Ingredients

SPRITZ COOKIES

  • 1 cup (226g) butter, room temperature
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon almond extract
  • cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt

STRAWBERRY SPRITZ

  • ¼ teaspoon strawberry extract
  • pink gel food coloring

CHOCOLATE SPRITZ

  • ¼ cup cocoa, in replace of flour and no almond extract

MARSHMALLOW BUTTERCREAM

  • 1 cup (2 sticks or 226g) butter, softened
  • 4 cups confectioners' sugar
  • ½ teaspoon almond extract
  • 1 jar (13 ounces) marshmallow creme or fluff

Instructions

SPRITZ COOKIES

  • Heat oven to 400°F. Combine butter, sugar, egg, vanilla, and almond extract in the bowl of a stand mixer.
  • Blend at medium speed, scraping the bowl often, until creamy. Add flour and salt, and blend at a low speed until well mixed. Divide and tint dough, if desired.
  • To make a Rose Cookie Spritz, insert a 1M or 2D tip into a pastry bag. Fill the bag with cookie dough. I found that if the dough was a bit warm (as in heated by the warmth from my hands) it was easier to pipe out these cookies.
  • Bake for 5 to 8 minutes, or until slightly golden.

STRAWBERRY SPRITZ

  • Replace vanilla extract with ¼ teaspoon strawberry. Tint dough with pink gel food coloring.

CHOCOLATE SPRITZ

  • Replace ¼ cup of flour with ¼ cup of cocoa. Do not use almond extract.

MARSHMALLOW BUTTERCREAM

  • Cream butter in a mixing bowl with an electric mixer on medium until butter is light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. (You can also use a stand mixer with a paddle attachment.)
  • Add in almond extract.
  • Gradually beat in confectioners' sugar, about a ½ cup at a time. Once all the sugar has been added, mix on high for 2-3 minutes.
  • Once fully combined, gently fold the marshmallow creme into the frosting by hand. It can be used immediately or refrigerated until ready to use in your spritz cookie sandwiches.
