Spritz cookies are small, crisp, and buttery with a light snap. They hold clean, detailed shapes from the cookie press and can be decorated however you'd like.
Preheat oven to 400 F. Mix butter, sugar, egg yolks and almond extract well. Gradually add flour until thoroughly mixed. Place dough inside a cookie press with desired shape. Press onto ungreased cookie sheet. Decorate as desired. Bake 6-8 minutes or until set but not brown. Carefully remove to cooling rack.
