Here is an easy small-batch recipe for eggless spritz cookies! This simple eggless spritz cookie recipe makes 24 cookies, perfect to send to school with your kids for their class! My OXO cookie press came with a teddy bear and heart mold which were adorable! To substitute the eggs in this spritz cookie recipe, I used a mix of cornstarch and heavy cream. The cookies turn our buttery, light, and delicious!
I flavored the spritz cookies with vanilla, but you can change it up easily!
- Citrus spritz cookies: rub the sugar with 2 tsp of any citrus zest (lemon, lime, orange,etc) and then add butter and make the cookies per the recipe
- Spices spritz cookies: add in 1/2 tsp of a baking spice like cinnamon, cardamom, chai masala, etc along with the flour
- Spritz cookie sandwiches: Melt chocolate and spread a thin layer onto a cookie and top with another cookie. Can use thick jam as well!
If you don’t have a cookie press, you can use a piping bag fitted with a large star tip and you can pipe swirls, dollops, or lines directly onto a baking pan before baking. Since these cookies are thicker they will take 1-2 minutes extra to bake.
If you make these for the holidays be sure to tag me @milkandcardamom on social media! I love seeing your bakes!
