Baking with Laura - Christmas Cookies

Christmas press cookies are delicious and fun to make! I use the recipe in the Joy of Cooking for spritz cookies. It is basically a batter for butter cookies. The batter is then placed in a cookie press, and then baked in the oven. The cookies can be stored in a tin for a week or so and then served on a pretty platter for Christmas Eve and Christmas. You can choose the design disk to place in the cookie press. The photos show wreath cookies and Christmas tree cookies. They look pretty when topped with sprinkles.
