Spritz Cookies

1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
1/2 cup shortening
2/3 cup sugar
3 egg yolks
1 teaspoon almond extract
2 1/4 cups all-purpose sifted flour

Cream together butter, shortening, and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg yolks and flavoring. Blend in flour. Chill dough 1/2 hour.

Fill cookie press and shap cookies on chilled ungreased cookie sheets (if the impressions are not good, you need to chill the dough more).

Bake at 375 for 10 to 12 minutes.

Makes about 4 to 5 dozen spritz cookies.

Good luck!
