Holiday Baking Countdown: Spritz!

Another cookie that I usually make every year for the holidays and have since my 20’s are Spritz Cookies….. the ones feel like playdough that you press out in cute shapes. They are always popular in my household– buttery, crunchy and sweetly sprinkled with colored sugars. This year things I’m shaking it up with this cookie and making it flavored like gingerbread. They are gluten free and flavored with cinnamon and clove and molasses. While they are warm out of the oven, I dunked them in cinnamon sugar.
