Look and taste just like spritz cookies, but you don't need a cookie press. There are a lot of different flavors listed here, so the first part of the ingrediant list is to make the regular flavored ones and anything that is marked optional is what you add to make the other flavors. Listing it this way seemed easier than listing it over and over to get in all the different flavors, so I hope it makes sense listed all together like this. Enjoy! Ingredients:
1 cup butter or 1 cup margarine |
3/4 cup sugar (for butterschotch flavor) or 3/4 cup brown sugar (for butterschotch flavor) |
