Cinnamon Spritz Recipes

Steps:

• Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat to 300 degrees F.
• Whisk the flour, baking powder, cayenne and salt in a medium bowl.
• Beat the butter and sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in the egg, cinnamon extract and food coloring until smooth. Reduce the mixer speed to low; beat in the flour mixture until combined.
• Fill a cookie press with the dough according to the manufacturers' instructions. Press cookies 1 inch apart onto 2 unlined baking sheets. Lightly press silver dragées into each.
• Bake, switching the pans halfway through, until the cookies are firm to the touch, 25 to 30 minutes. Loosen the cookies immediately with a thin spatula and transfer to a rack to cool completely. Repeat with the remaining dough.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Mix flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl.
• Beat butter, brown sugar, white sugar, and vanilla with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth. Beat in the egg until completely incorporated.
• Gradually beat flour mixture into butter mixture until combined. Fold in cinnamon chips and cinnamon candies, mixing just enough to evenly combine.
• Drop spoonfuls of the dough 2 inches apart onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, 8 to 11 minutes. Cool on the pans for 2 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Whisk together flour, salt, and cinnamon.
• Using the tip of a paring knife, scrape vanilla seeds into a large bowl, and discard pods. Add sugar, and beat with a mixer on medium speed for 3 minutes. Add butter, and beat until pale and fluffy. Beat in egg yolks. Add flour mixture, and beat until just combined.
• Attach a wreath disk to a cookie press. Divide dough into 3 portions. Fill press with dough. Press cookies onto baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart.
• Bake until barely golden, 9 to 12 minutes. Immediately sprinkle cookies with cinnamon sugar. Let cool slightly, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely. Repeat with remaining dough.
