Christmas Cookies
A Christmas Sampler, PC Hugware
I love holiday baking. I plan on baking up a storm this Thursday and inviting my whole neighborhood in for a Holiday Open House! I’ll be baking cakes, and brownies, and of course, Aunt Barb’s Famous Fudge, but my favorite cookie – is still the age old Chocolate Spritz Cookie. Fun, easy, and pretty!
Chocolate Spritz Cookie
1 1/4 c Butter
1 c Granulated sugar
2/3c Brown Sugar
2 large Eggs
1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
2 1/2 c Flour (all-purpose)
2/3 c Cocoa
1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
1/4 teaspoon Salt
Preheat oven to 375*. In a large mixing bowl, cream butter, and sugars at medium high speed, until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add vanilla. Sift together flour, cocoa, soda and salt. Add flour mixture gradually and beat well. Shape dough into small log and place in the Cookie Press. Press cookies onto an ungreased cookie sheet and bake at 375* for 10 – 12 minutes. Remove cookies from sheet and cool on rack.

Those sounds really yummy! But I am honestly tired of all the baking I have been doing. After we make Santa’s sugar cookies then I am done for a couple months.
