summary
Classic buttery spritz cookies are delicious and easy to make. A cookie press creates fun, festive shapes without the need for rolling and cutting out dough. Tasty just as they are, the buttery classic spritz cookies also take to a sweet citrus glaze, made by adding small amounts of lemon juice to powdered sugar to drizzly consistency.
