We only have 22 days until Christmas which in the Oldenkamp household means cookies NEED to be baked. And not just any old cookie, but my all time favorite Spritz Christmas Cookies. They’re so buttery, soft and festive that they’re obviously the one thing I make sure to make time for each holiday season. This year I totally forgot to put the sprinkles on before putting them in the oven, but that did not make a difference in how many I ate š
The original recipe from The Semi Sweet Sisters only made green Christmas Tree’s, but since I had the colors I decided to do three different colors with three different shapes. Blue for a cute little snowflake, green for the Christmas tree and red for a holiday wreath.
