      Spritz Cookies
      By Jennifer A. Wickes Traditionally served in Germany at Christmas time.
      1 cup butter
      ½ cup sugar
      1 teaspoon vanilla extract
      2 teaspoons cinnamon
      1 egg
      ¼ teaspoon salt
      2 ¼ cups flour – sifted

      Let butter soften slightly at room temperature. Cream the butter until white and
      fluffy. Add the sugar a little at a time, beating until the granules of sugar
      are no longer felt, and the mixture is light and fluffy. Add flavoring and egg.
      Blend thoroughly. Add the flour and salt, gently with a metal spoon, a little at
      a time, until the dough is soft and workable. Pack dough into a cookie press or
      a pastry bag, using any pattern you prefer. Lightly butter baking sheets. Press
      out dough. Bake in a preheated 375-degree oven for 10 minutes, or until cookie
      edges are a light golden brown. Serving Ideas: Instead of adding vanilla extract
      try almond extract OR the rind of ½ lemon. Yields: 24
      Vanilla Broetchen
      By Jennifer A. Wickes Traditionally served in Germany at Christmas time.
      5 eggs — room temperature
      3½ cups flour – sifted
      ½ teaspoon salt
      2 cups sugar
      1 teaspoon vanilla extract
      1 teaspoon baking powder

      Beat eggs until frothy. Add sugar one spoonful at a time. Beat for 20 minutes at
      medium speed. Gradually add vanilla extract and the sifted dry ingredients.
      Grease a cookie sheet with butter. Drop rounded spoonfuls of cookie dough onto
      the cookie sheet approximately one inch apart. Cookies must dry overnight. Bake
      at 325-degree oven for 10 12 minutes.

      Hints: For a crisper cookie, use butter and all-purpose flour. For a more
      cake-like cookie, use shortening and cake flour. For a lower-fat version, you
      can substitute whole eggs for tofu! Use ¼ cup firm tofu for each whole egg!
