Description

I love to make spritz cookies. Each year I make several varieties of cookies and then deliver them to friends. I love to watch them crack a smile when they see a plate full of cookies. —Margaret Otley, Waverly, Nebraska

I like a few others had trouble with the dough at first until I realized my mistake....3/4 cup of butter IS NOT 3 sticks of butter, but 1 1/2. So I quickly doubled all the other ingredients and made a double batch. I do wish the peppermint taste in the cookie was stronger but that may be because I used dark chocolate cocoa.

I liked the subtle peppermint flavor of these cookies. I didt have any trouble working with the dough.

if there was an option of zero stars I would pick it!! the dough was way too sticky even after being refrigerated and wouldnt stay cold for more than two minutes. i finally got them to stick to the sheet and put them in the oven. when i took them out after only 8 minutes they were completely flat and had lost all shape. they looked terrible and overall it was a huge waste of time. i cant believe this recipe is on the internet. DONT MAKE THESE!!!!!!!

Good taste, and easy to make. Next time I will put a chocolate chip in the center instead of the peppermint crumbs.

i dont know what went wrong, but this recipe didnt work for me! I followed the directions exactly. First, the dough is way too soft even with adding more flour. Then the cookies spread far too much when baked, losing all the shape of the press...I ended up with brown flat lumps. They are neither chocolaty or minty, actually rather blah. The only mint taste is from the crushed candies. The best I can say is that they are very easy to make! Glad they worked for others!

These cookies are wonderful! The dough is easy to work with and the cookies are delicious! I doubled the recipe and ended up with 10 dozen cookies to share with family and friends.

Just the right amount of peppermint. quick and easy and looks impressive
