Since I've actually tasted things you bake, I know these have to be delicious. They are so cute, too! Thank you, sweet friend, for sharing your recipe and playing along in this hop. Someday I'll come hang out at one of your real cookie exchanges!

ReplyDeleteI love spritz cookies as well. These remind me of cookies that we would have at my grandmother's house. It's amazing the connections we make with cookies, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteMy mother-in-law has a tradition of making these each year with kids/grandkids/great-grandkids. She uses gumdrops, and the kids have a blast. She also calls them jewels. Thanks for your recipe!

ReplyDeleteI'm sure I've tried these cookies before...if not, I know they'll be good! Everything else I ate at your house as a kid was always good! I'll have to give these a try. My boys would love them!
ReplyDeleteYum.....I love spritz cookies!!
ReplyDeleteThose look delicious! I see that you use the same cookie gun that I do. I use mine to make our shortbread cookies with.
ReplyDeleteOh how I miss my old cookie press with the wonderful ease of use and shapes. Thank you for sharing your cookie recipe and hopping.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, Brenda! My son (he is an only) has two food passions....his nana's spritz cookies and maraschino cherries! One time he asked his nana to make him a cherry pie with them :) He will LOVE these cookies. Thank you for this variation on an old favorite. I can't wait to get to California to make them!
ReplyDeleteThose look yummy. My hubby was going through a cupboard and asked what is this (cookie press) I had to explain to him how it worked. I may have to whip some up for the little men this weekend.
ReplyDeleteSpritz are always the first cookie we make. Will try your recipe for sure. The almond cookies sound good too. Thanks for sharing.
