Spring Flower Spritz Cookies

Spring Flower Spritz Cookies, buttery spritz cookies covered with sprinkles & a chocolate chip in the center.

I love spritz cookies. Every Christmas I bake those spritz cookies that look like little Christmas Trees. I make them for Valentine’s Day too using the heart shaped spritz disc.  I have never made flower shaped spritz though, until now. I thought it would be cute to make some for Spring/Easter since tomorrow is the first day of March & Spring is just around the corner right?

These cookies are simple to make. You will need a cookie press to make them & a flower pattern disc. Be careful that you push out enough dough for each flower or it will not stick to the cookie sheet like it should. If the dough is giving you problems you could try chilling it for 20 minutes or so in the refrigerator. I never have any trouble with mine using this recipe but I know some people do. I used ghirardelli chocolate chips for the middle, they are slightly bigger then nestle brand.

If your looking for a cookie press Amazon has the Oxo Good Grips Cookie Press & the Wilton Cookie Press both come with pattern discs.
