Betty Crocker Easy Spritz Flowers

Even if you didn’t grow up with a Scandinavian grandma who made buckets of these cookies every Christmas, spritz have a timeless appeal. With their buttery texture, bite size and almond flavoring, these cookies are just as good as you might remember. The only difference is this recipe is extra easy to make. The dough comes together with a couple of standard ingredients, including a package of Betty Crocker™ sugar cookie mix, and the charming decorations take minimal effort as well. Simply stir in red and green holiday nonpareils before pressing cookies and add a maraschino cherry center to complete the flower look. So while poinsettias are nice at Christmastime, we think an edible arrangement of these spritz would be even nicer when you need a host gift or Christmas present.
