My mother only made spritz in her cookie press. I've made these, too. Thanks for the other ideas.

For you chocolate lovers out there, here's a chocolate spritz recipe.

Chocolate Spritz

1/2 c sugar
3/4 c butter, softened
1 egg yolk
1 tsp almond extract
1-1/2 c flour
1/4 c unsweetened cocoa

Heat oven to 375 F. In large bowl, combine all ingredients except flour and cocoa. Beat at medium speed until light and fluffy (2-3 min). Gradually add flour and cocoa until well mixed (2-3 min). Shape cookies with cookie press. Place 1" apart on cookie sheets. Bake for 7-9 min or until set. Cool. Decorate with melted chocolate chips, melted almond bark. nuts, colored sugars, candied fruits, maraschino cherries, etc. Yield: 3 dozen.
