Christmas Cookies

Of course, one of our best holiday traditions is the baking that happens.  My very favorite cookies to make at Christmas are Spritz cookies.  My grandma always made them, and I think they are the best!  Here is my recipe:

Swedish Spritz
1 lb butter
1 egg, well beaten
1 C sugar
1 tsp vanilla
4 C flour

Cream butter, egg, sugar and vanilla.  Add flour, do not overmix.  Using a cookie press, press cookies onto cool baking sheets (if your pans are warm, the cookies will not stick when you are pressing them....).  Decorate with sprinkles.  Bake at 400* for 5-7 minutes or until they are no longer shiny.

I hope you enjoy these as much as I do!
