Spritz cookies are the holiday cookie that looks like you worked harder than you did. They are all butter, vanilla, and good intentions, piped into pretty little swooshes and rosettes that bake in minutes. No rolling pin, no chilling marathon, no flour cloud settling over your entire kitchen like a winter storm.
This is a classic, buttery spritz cookie recipe with a dough that is soft enough to pipe but sturdy enough to hold its shape. The key is the right butter texture, a little egg, and the small but mighty move of not greasing your baking sheet so the dough can grip and release cleanly. Add sprinkles, dip in chocolate, sandwich with jam, or keep them plain and let the butter do the talking.
