I love spritz cookies, but gave up years ago and ditched the cookie press.   All of a sudden I had trouble getting the dough out of the press...I tried two different presses.  

Does anyone have a recipe for this cookie that does not require a cookie press?  Thanks

I just wanted to say my mom used to make these in a wreath shape at Christmas all the time. I called them butter cookies. They were melt in your mouth yum.

I don't know why you could not roll out your dough & cut with cookie cutters. Spray or use flour on the cutters.

Online it says you can roll in ball & flatten with bottom of glass.

I don't see why you could not drop by spoonfuls. Or, pipe them by filling a plastic bag & cut the tip. But you wouldn't lose any dough if you just dropped them.

Online it says you can use a pasty bag but stay clear of plastic bags that tend to burst under pressure.

If shapes don't matter dropping it by spoon & pressing flat would be easier.

@Nightowlz the wreath shape tastes the best, lol.

My mother would make hundreds of them this time of year.  We would be eating them as fast as they cooled.

Thanks, @Nightowlz ! I've got to invest in a pastry bag & tips!

They wouldn't be the same texture if dropped by the teaspoon.  I used to get so frustrated with that cookie press.  I always wondered if the electric ones worked better.  Love Spritz cookies.

Gosh, thanks everyone!!

I love those cookies and I made them for years, then all of a sudden, trouble and yes I even had an electric one.  I was so frustrated that I just threw everything away.  

I can still see that old manual press that my mom used and all those fun shaped disks.

I like the idea of rolling them out, why didn't that occur to me??
