Personal Notes:
Spritz cookies bring back such great memories. My mom made them every year for the holidays. Now my granddaughter, Rhapsody, has become the queen of the spritz cookie.
Buttery, crisp and delicious. It is hard to go wrong with the classic Spritz Cookie, recipe courtesy of Betty Crocker.
