Christmas tree spritz

submitted by Mrs. T

1 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
1 tsp. almond extract
14 tsp. salt
2 1/4 cups flour
Green paste food coloring
Colored candy sprinkles

Heat oven to 400°. Cream butter and sugar. Blend in egg and extract,
then flour and salt. Blend in small amount of green coloring to tint
dough a light green. Place tree plate in cookie press. Fill press with
1/4 of dough at a time. Form cookies 1 inch apart on ungreased baking
sheet. Sprinkle cookies with colored candy sprinkles. Bake for 7 to 9
minutes or until set but not brown. Remove to racks to cool. Makes
about 9 dozen.

This is a favorite on our cookie trays because it adds a note of lively
color. If you do not care for almond flavoring, substitute vanilla.
