Wanting to do something Autumn-like, I pulled out my cookie press, mixed up a batch of spritz cookies and pressed them out in the shape of pumpkins.

I added a touch of cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger for an Autumn-like taste; this added a bit of spice to the basic spritz cookie recipe. The icing is simply a mix of powdered sugar and water (and food coloring, of course).

Basic spritz cookies with a bit of Autumn spice thrown in.
Author: Jamieanne
Serves: 2-3 dozen
Ingredients
  • 1½ sticks unsalted butter, softened
  • ½ cup sugar
  • ½ egg
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla (I added about ⅛ teaspoon more)
  • 7 ounces all purpose flour
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
  • ⅛ teaspoon ginger
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. In a large bowl, beat butter on medium speed of an electric mixer until creamy. Add sugar, egg and vanilla; beat well. Slowly add flour, along with spices; mix well. Dough will be soft; do not refrigerate.
  2. Fill cookie press with dough, press onto ungreased cookie sheet 1 inch apart. Decorate with sprinkles or colored sugar if desired. Note - I stuck my cookie sheet in the freezer before pressing the dough onto it to help the dough stick better.
  3. Bake 10-12 minutes or until firm, but not brown. Cool 2 minutes on cookie sheet; remove to wire rack to cool. Repeat with remaining dough. Decorate with icing when cookies are completely cool.

    I’m not a big cookie person; do these come out soft or crunchy? Thanks for the recipe!

    Hi Michelle, as long as you don’t overbake them, they are soft and very delicate. 🙂

      The recipe states 7 ounces of flour, so I’m presuming you mean 7 ounces and not 9? 🙂 7 ounces should equate to 1 1/2 cups of flour.
