Flo Braker \u2013 remember that name. I\u2019ll be coming back to her recipes often on the blog because they\u2019re brilliant and simple, which is exactly how I like them. This is one of them \u2013 delicate, buttery spritz cookies. Here\u2019s your chance to turn the kitchen into a little cookie factory and spend a fun afternoon baking with the children. If you have a cookie press, you can make the kind of beautifully shaped cookies you may have only seen in bakery before. Be warned \u2013 it\u2019s addictive ;).<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Makes 3 baking trays of cookies.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ingredients for spritz cookies:<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
• 225 g butter<\/li>\n
• \u00bd \u2013 \u2154 cup caster sugar<\/li>\n
• \u00bc tsp salt<\/li>\n
• 290 g plain flour<\/li>\n
• 2 egg yolks, from large eggs<\/li>\n
• 1 tsp vanilla extract<\/li>\n
• \u00bc tsp lemon extract<\/li>\n
• \u00bc tsp almond extract<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  All ingredients should be at room temperature.<\/p>\n

  Place the butter and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer and beat until light and fluffy. Add the egg yolks one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the extracts and beat again. Add the flour and salt and mix until thoroughly combined.<\/p>\n

  Working in batches, fill a cookie press* with the dough and press the cookies onto a baking tray lined with baking paper, leaving some space between them. While you are shaping one batch, keep the remaining dough in the fridge.<\/p>\n

  Bake at 180\u00b0C for approximately 12\u201314 minutes, rotating the baking tray during baking so that the cookies bake evenly. Remove from the oven and leave to cool on a wire rack.<\/p>\n

  *The cookies can also be piped onto the baking tray using a piping bag.<\/p>\n

  Enjoy!<\/p>\n
