I used premium ingredients and followed the recipe hoping they would taste like the cookies I remember from childhood, but these are really flat in taste and not sweet enough.

I followed the recipe exactly and not enough flavor for my taste. I’ll try this again with 2x lmond and another with almond andorange zest.

I looked at every Spritz cookie recipe out there before I picked this one. It is (by far) the best recipe I found. Your recipe was even more complete than Betty Crocker! Their recipe left out Baking Powder!!! I told my husband that the recipe needed Baking Powder. When I found yours included a teaspoon of it, I knew then that I found the perfect recipe.
Your recipe that all the right quantities and the right ingredients in the right steps to make a perfect cookie dough. And perfect it was!
As for vanilla or almond extract, I use both 1 teaspoon if each. The two extracts blend well together and make for a tasty Spritz cookie.
I put green food coloring in the dough and I sprinkled the cookies lightly with red and white crystal sprinkles and placed a small red confetti heart in the center of each cookie to make Grinch cookies.
They turned out delicious and perfect. Grinch would be proud of my Christmas cookies. Thank you for posting a perfect recipe!
And am making another batch, this time a different holiday cookie shape.

Yes, bake with sprinkles first. They meld into the cookie while baking.

You can use either extract or use one of both. I make homemade vanilla extract and used both extracts in the recipe. I’m really into extracts and these two blend well together to give the cookie a very yummy flavor.
