These tender butter classic spritz cookies are so easy, and melt in your mouth delicious. The dough is easy to work with, so it’s fun to make these into a variety of festive shapes.

These classic spritz cookies are so buttery and addictive. The dough is easy and comfortable enough that you don’t need a cookie press, but they do make for pretty designs.

Is it Christmas already?

Merry Christmas you guys!!! And the famous question, “How did this year go by so quickly?”…

Cashew Linzer -Sandwich Cookies

Sometimes, you have such a great idea that you think you’ve almost won a lottery with it. A few days ago, I had an idea….

Sitting on my dining table, with a hot cup of coffee in one hand and typing in the other. I typed in ‘snowflake cutters’, and there it was at William-Sonoma website. I added it to the bag, quickly forgetting about it, as I had lots to do that day. After a couple of days, I was watching my favorite Vlog on YouTube, when I saw an ad of those same snowflake cutters staring at me. It’s funny how the advertising agencies can monitor all your Internet activities. And, of course, it’s showing me the thing that I wanted to buy. Weird. I finally went ahead and ordered and waited for it for 4 whole days. They came on a Thursday, so pretty and screaming at me to use them soon. My idea: making Lintzer cookies with the snowflake cutter. The bottom cookie would be a round plain one and the top would be this gorgeous snowflake like cookie dusted with powdered sugar and jam peaking through the tiny little cutouts. They looked perfect in my mind. I didn’t see anything like that on Pinterest or anywhere. They definitely are going to be stunning. Oh well, I thought it would be stunning.
