Rose Neapolitan Spritz Cookies


Ingredients

1 cup room temperature butter
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
Strawberry Spritz:
1/4 teaspoon strawberry extract
pink gel food coloring
Chocolate Spritz:
1/4 cup cocoa

Instructions

Heat oven to 400°F. Combine butter, sugar, egg and extract in mixer. Blend at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until creamy. Add flour and salt; and blend at low speed until well mixed. Divide and tint dough, if desired.
To make Rose Cookie Spritz, insert a 1M or 2D tip into pastry bag. Fill bag with cookie dough. I found that if the dough was a bit warm (as in heated by the warmth from my hands) it was easier to pipe out these cookies.
Bake for 5 to 8 minutes, or until slightly golden.
To make Strawberry Spritz Cookies:
Replace vanilla extract with 1/4 teaspoon strawberry. Tint dough with pink gel food coloring.
To make Chocolate Spritz Cookies:
Replace 1/4 cup of flour with 1/4 cup of cocoa. Do not use almond extract.
