MediaGrowth Holiday Greetings!
(and cookies!!)
The winter holiday season is a wonderful opportunity to spend great times with family and friends. At MediaGrowth, our Norwegian traditions include lots of cookies. We thought it would be fun to share a favorite recipe for one of the simplest and best...
Spritz!
Here's the family recipe...
2 1/4 cups floor
3/4 cups sugar
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 cup shortening - butter (salted)
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla or almond extract
1. Sift flour, sugar & baking powder together in a bowl.
2. With pastry blender or 2 knives, cut in butter until very fine lumps.
3. Measure egg in measuring cup. A large egg is 1/4 cup. If not, add water to 1/4 cup.
4. Add egg & vanilla to bowl & beat mixture very well.
5. Fill cookie press. Form cookies on ungreased cookie sheet.
6. Bake at 375 degrees for 10-12 minutes.
7. Remove at once to cooling racks.

Makes 5-6 dozen cookies
Enjoy!
Have a great Holiday Season!
All the Best,
Kathi & Ed Simonsen
