I got this somewhere online, but failed to note where, so I have no idea whose grandma the title refers to.

Grandma’s Spritz Cookie Recipe

• 1 cup shortening
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1 egg
• 2 1/4 cup sifted flour
• 1/8 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp almond extract
• food coloring

1. Cream shortening. Add sugar gradually.

2. Add egg, sifted dry ingredients, flavoring and a few drops of food coloring (I use green). Mix well.

3. Fill cookie press. Form cookies on ungreased cookie sheet using the template. Decorate with tiny candies.

4. Bake at 375 degrees for 6-8 minutes (10 minutes on my stone, 8 minutes on cookie sheet). Transfer cookies from sheet to wire rack at once to cool.
