These are the best tasting Spritz Cookies you will ever have. However, using a cookie press takes a little getting used to.
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
Cream together (use a mixer)
1 cup Butter or Shortening at room temperature
1 3 Ounce package of Cream cheese
Add gradually
1 cup of Sugar
Beat in
1 Egg yolk
1 teaspoon Vanilla
1 teaspoon finely grated orange rind
Sift together
2 and 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
Mix dry ingredients a little at a time into wet ingredients. Once completely mixed together, fill your cookie press. ( you can divide dough and color it if wanted) Form cookies on ungreased cookie sheets. They will not spread while baking. Decorate with sugar, cinnamon-sugar, or chopped almonds.
Bake 12- 15 minutes, just until brown on bottom edges. Remove at once from cookie sheets.
