Recipe(tried): Quick-Mix Spritz (from Mirro Cookie Press book)

Desserts - Cookies, Brownies, Bars
QUICK-MIX SPRITZ

2 1/4 cups sifted all purpose flour
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking powder
1 cup shortening
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla

Sift flour, sugar, salt and baking powder together in a bowl.

With a pastry blender or two knives cut the shortening into the dry ingredients until the mixture is full of very fine lumps. (It will resemble pie crust or biscuit mix, although not as coarse.)

Measure the egg in a measuring cup (a large egg will measure 1/4 cup). If it does not, add water to the 1/4 cup line.

Add the egg and vanilla to the flour mixture and beat the mixture very well.

Fill Mirro cookie press. Form cookies on ungreased Mirro cookie sheets.

Bake at 375 degrees F for 10-12 minutes. Remove at once to cooling racks.

Makes 5-6 Dozen

This is taken directly from the Mirro cookie press book. Hope this is what you are looking for. There is also a recipe called Christmas Trees recipe that reduces the salt and baking powder to 1/4 tsp. and uses 1 tsp almond extract instead of vanilla extract and of course, green food coloring.
Hope this helps. Katora
