Fiori Di Sicilia Spritz Cookies
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup cream cheese
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon fiori di sicilia flavoring
- 1 grated whole orange and, rind (zest) or lemon
- 1 large egg yolk
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- Preheat the oven to 375u0b0F If you're making shaped cookies using a cookie press, chill two ungreased baking sheets in the freezer while you make the dough.
- Beat together the butter, sugar, cream cheese, salt, vanilla, Fiori di Sicilia, and zest.
- Beat in the egg yolk, then stir in the flour.
- If you're using a cookie press, follow the directions that come with the press to pipe cookies onto the chilled baking sheets.
- If you're not using a cookie press, simply drop the dough by the teaspoonful onto the ungreased baking sheets. Top with coarse white sparkling sugar or colored sugar, if desired.
- Bake the cookies for 8 to 10 minutes, until they're brown around the edges.
- Remove from the oven, and wait 5 minutes before transferring the cookies to racks to cool. Be sure to move the cookies before they're totally cool, as otherwise they may stick to the baking sheet.
- Store completely cool cookies airtight, at room temperature, for up to a week; freeze for longer storage.
