This past weekend, I baked a batch of spritz cookies using my favorite cookie recipe, and they were gone in no time. Spritz cookies are basically butter cookies made with a cookie press.
These spritz cookies are beautiful, festive (with holiday-themed sprinkles), but more importantly, they are buttery, melt-in-your-mouth crumbly, and absolutely addictive.
I got the original recipe from the packaging of a cookie cutter I bought in Malaysia and adapted the recipe to fit my taste.
The recipe yields the BEST homemade cookies ever!
To make the spritz cookies, I used a cookie press and chose the Christmas tree pattern.
Everyone who has tasted these cookies can’t stop raving about them, some even told me to start selling these cookies!
Try this spritz cookies recipe and I’m sure you’ll love them.
Happy baking!

Spritz Cookies – BEST, buttery, melt-in-your-mouth crumbliest Christmas Spritz cookies ever! Super easy recipe that anyone can bake this holiday season.
Ingredients
- 10 oz unsalted butter, room temperature (280 g)
- 1 egg yolk
- 3 oz powdered sugar + 1 heaping tablespoon sugar (100 g)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 11 oz all-purpose flour (310 g)
- 4 oz cornstarch (110 g)
- 3 tablespoons milk powder, (optional)
- 2 tablespoons full cream milk/whole milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- holiday-themed sprinkles
Directions
- 1Cream the butter with sugar, egg yolk, salt and vanilla extract until fluffy. Add in the milk powder, full milk, and mix well.
- 2Fold in the all-purpose flour and corn starch. Mix until the dough becomes soft and not stick to hands.
- 3Preheat the oven to 350 degree Fahrenheit. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silplat. Transfer the cookie dough into the cookie press with your desired pattern. Ratchet the dough out onto the baking sheets. Make sure to leave some space in between the cookies. Top the cookies with some sprinkles and place the baking sheets in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes. This will firm up the dough so the cookies will maintain their shape when baked.
- 4Bake for about 13-14 minutes, or until cookies are completely cooked through inside or turn slightly brown. Cool on rack.

I just made these for a lady who said she loves butter cookies for a birthday surprise. I followed the directions to a T. I also have a food scale so the oz and g didn’t bother me. Walmart has them for $10 a good investment. Next time I will however add 2 heaping TBS of sugar instead of 1. I did add a full tsp of vanilla and 1/2 tsp of almond extract like my childhood butter cookies had. I enjoyed the cookies my toddler however didn’t. But it’s because these aren’t very sweet.

the recipe calls for 3 oz powdered sugar + 1 heaping tablespoon sugar. Is the heaping tablespoon sugar also powdered sugar or is it regular granulated sugar?
Grace
This was the worst measuring nightmare!! Needs to be converted to be easier to follow. What a waste of butter.

Grace – this recipe is converted from a metric measurement hence it’s odd. However I can assure you that the cookies taste very good.
