Spritz Cookies

Ah this is the time of year I pull out
the old cookie press and bake up
a batch of spritz cookies. I remember
making these with my Grandmother.
It seems every year I make these
using a differant spritz cookie recipe.
This is the recipe I just made and baked.

Ingredients:
1 stick butter
3/4 cup sugar
1 large egg, beaten
1 teaspoon almond extract
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons milk
1 3/4 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder

Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
In a large bowl combine flour
and baking powder, set aside.
In a mixing bowl,
cream the butter with sugar.
Add egg, milk and extract.
Mix just until combined then
slowly add flour mixture.
Again mix just to combine.
Place cookie dough in a cookie
press fitted with your desired tip.
Press out dough to desired shapes.
Bake for 10 minutes or until browned
around the edges and remove to cool.
Be careful not to over bake these.
