Notes: Papa was crazy about spritz cookies. All of us loved them but Papa loved them enough to make them even when it wasn't Christmas. Sort of like Peppernuts, sometimes he just made them because he wanted to. Since he was at sea for a week and home for a week he often had time to bake.
The recipe for these originally came from a pamphlet in the box with the Cookie "Boing" which was Papa's aluminum cookie press. We always called it a Cookie Boing and loved to help make them so we could eat them :) We made, gave away and ate hundreds of these every Christmas.
We sprinkled them with colored sugar and packed them into gift boxes lined with waxed paper and wrapped in foil. They keep for weeks and weeks (unless you eat them all).
