I grew up baking Spritz cookies with my mom. They are some of my favorite. Probably because they are fun to make (you get to use a gun!) and they are just so amazingly simple and good. But I had never made them with cream cheese before. Excited to try this one!
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 3 ounce cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon real vanilla
- 2 1/2 cups sifted flour
- Put dough in cookie gun and press through desired cookie stencil. Brush tops of cookies with egg white and sprinkle with sprinkles. Bake at 400 degrees for 8-10 minutes. Make a double or triple batch – they will go fast!
