30 minThis is the spritz cookie recipe grandma made, using whole eggs for a richer, more tender crumb.
Pure vanilla extract shines through in every bite, complementing the buttery base without competing flavors.
The dough pipes beautifully through a cookie press, holding intricate shapes that bake up golden and crisp around the edges.
Pro Tips
- Use pure vanilla extract rather than imitation for the cleanest, truest flavor
- Make sure your margarine is softened but not melted; it should hold a fingerprint but not be greasy
- Whip the eggs well before adding to create a lighter texture in the finished cookies
- Bake until just golden around the edges; overbaking makes them dry instead of tender
