I had a hard time finding different flavored recipes for the basic spritz cookies, but this one sounded too good to pass up. Its really good with a bit of peppermint extract instead of the vanilla... light taste! These remind me of my years with my little ones, we would make spritz cookies every month for the holidays all year long, and they would just go hog wild on them without getting massive calories! i hope you like this as much as we do!
