Spritz. Just an older better homes and gardens cookbook recipe I added a little food coloring to that matched the shape I was using in the cookie press. I usually do green trees, but since I know most of these were getting frozen for later I opted to do Sunflowers for Ukraine since I had the blue and yellow sugar. I think it's actually a pointsetta shape but, shhhh.

Oh it's pressed into that shape? They look super cool, was wondering how they got that way.

Yeah I took my mom's cookie press when she offered it up. She still bakes, but when they downsized she didn't want to have to move a baking device she uses once a year. So mine is metal and from the 70s. But you can get new ones from Wilton that are plastic and work just fine. They are way easier to make than cutout cookies. I banged these out in about half an hour. They are closer to the Danish Butter Cookies in the tin as opposed to shortbread (very buttery, but light). They are so light, in fact, it is easy to put away 5 or 6 without thinking. There is actually a second tip where if I wanted to do the work of making them look more like sunflowers I could have dyed some of the dough brown and piped the middles, too.
