Step 1

Add butter and sugar to a bowl and mix until fluffy.

Step 2

Add flour, salt and milk and mix again until the dough comes together.

Step 3

THIS STEP IS OPTIONAL – Place the dough on parchment paper or on your clean counter and ‘rub/spread’ the dough back and forth with a spatula, bowl scraper or spoon.

Step 4

Transfer the dough to a piping bag with a large star nozzle and start to pipe a wave pattern on a parchment lined baking sheet. The wider the waves the bigger the cookie.

Step 5

Pipe long strips, not individual cookies. In a perfect world you would pipe one long continuous strip.

Step 6

Bake the spritsen in an oven of 375 degrees F for about 20 minutes or until golden brown.

Step 7

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and immediately cut into ‘cookies’ of about 1.5-2 inches. Don’t wait until the cookie is cooled, it will break; when you do it while the cookie strip is still warm you’ll have no issue.

Step 8

Allow the cookies to cool completely.

Step 9

Enjoy!
