If you’re looking for a festive, fun, and easy Christmas cookie, you’re going to want to try spritz cookies. These are buttery, shortbread-esque cookies that are as adorable as they are simple. They’re perfectly bite-sized, and you’ll get quite a few from one batch. They’re perfect for the holidays and a fun addition to any cookie platter alongside other classics like gumdrop-buttoned gingerbread men and frosted sugar cookies!

The word “spritz” comes from the German word “spritzen”, which means to squirt. This makes sense since we’ll be “squirting” our cookie dough through a press to form fun shapes. If you don’t have a cookie press, don’t worry; I’ve also included instructions in my FAQ section on how to make these without one.
