Nothing says Christmas more than delightful and delicious Christmas Cookies. I am a cookie freak (and always have been), but this year I was a bit nervous on how I was going to get my fill when this year is quite different since I no longer can eat Gluten. Well, no worries! We figured it out!
Kevin and I both grew up eating tons of spritz cookies during the holidays. They are totally addicting and can be eaten for breakfast with coffee (well, I do anyways). This year we made them gluten free and they are even better than the “normal” one’s!
Cream Cheese Spritz Cookies
Ingredients
– 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free Flour)
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– 1 cup butter, softened
– 3 ounces cream cheese, softened
– 1 cup white sugar
– 1 egg yolk
– 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Sift together the flour, salt, and cinnamon; set aside.
2. In a medium bowl, cream together butter and cream cheese. Add sugar and egg yolk; beat until light and fluffy. Stir in the vanilla and almond extracts. Gradually blend in the dry ingredients.
3. Fill a cookie press or pastry bag with dough, and form cookies on an ungreased cookie sheet.
4. Sprinkle the cookies…
5. Bake for 8-9 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the cookies are golden brown on the peaks and on the bottoms. Remove from cookie sheets at once to cool on wire racks.
