A good spritz cookie should taste slightly sweet and buttery. The cookie should be slightly crumbly, but not dry, and it should feel like it’s melting in your mouth. Topped with a single candy coated chocolate, these Springtime Flower Cookies are not only delicious, but pretty and cheerful too!
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with a silicone baking mat. Set aside.
In a mixing bowl, beat together the butter and the sugar until well combined - about 2 minutes.
Add the egg and the vanilla extract. Beat into the butter and sugar mixture until completely incorporated.
Sift together the flour, and baking powder. Add to the butter mixture and beat until just combined.
Load the cookie dough into a cookie press which has been fitted with the disc of your choosing.
Press the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving 1 inch of space between each cookie.
Top the middle of each pressed cookie with one Cadbury Mini Egg. Press it just slightly into the dough.
Bake for 7 minutes. Remove from oven and allow the cookies to cool slightly on the baking sheet for 2 minutes. Transfer the cookies to a wire cooling rack to finish cooling.
Notes
If your spritzer has a small and a large setting, use the small setting and bake the cookies for 7 minutes. If you use the larger setting, bake the cookies for 8 minutes. If your spritzer has no setting option, in most cases, that spritzer is set at the large setting, so bake your cookies for 8 minutes as well. The cookie should be very slightly golden on the bottom, and shouldn't be browned at all.
