"I made these last year for Christmas and had no problems making them in my new cookie press. It was my first time ever making spritz cookies. I came back this year looking for this recipe to make them..." See more again. I made green lime Christmas trees and yellow lemon stars. I also sprinkled on colored sugar before baking them. I was hesitant at making these, but I am glad I did. Yum!"

I also sprinked them..." See more with red sugar before baking. It made a ton too. Try it you won't be dissapointed. I used margarine not butter."
