I couldn’t wait to share these festive Easy Eggless Spritz Cookies with you!
Spritz cookies are one of my all-time favorite cookies, but just a few weeks ago, when I was planning my holiday baking list, I realized that I hadn’t made Spritz cookies myself. What? I needed it to put an end to that situation.
So here you go… Easy Eggless Spritz Cookies!!
My kids were so happy when they saw these cookies cooling on the counter the other day!
Perfect for sharing with friends, family members, neighbors or coworkers.
They are so festive and cute, and delicious that one, or two, won’t be enough. Good thing that these cookies are so easy and quick to make that you can make 50-100 cookies in a flash. They hardly spread, so you can fit a bunch onto your baking sheets.
So get your cookie press ready!
What is a cookie press?
A cookie press is a kitchen tool used to press cookies such as spritz. It consists of a cylinder with a plunger on one end, which is used to force out cookie dough through the metal plate, at the other end, to create beautifully shaped cookies.
Tips and trick to make Eggless Spritz Cookies
- Cream the butter, cream cheese and sugar until very pale and fluffy. This will make your cookies light and tender.
- Do not overmix the dough or cookies could come out tough. After adding the flour mix until just combine and then use your hands to bring the dough together.
- Do not grease or line with parchment paper the baking sheets, or the cookie dough won’t stick.
- Using the cookie press can be a little tricky. You might need to press twice in order to the cookie to form and stick to the baking sheet.
- They hardly spread, so you can fit a bunch onto your baking sheets.
- Bake just until beginning to turn golden around the edges.
Can I make Spritz cookies without a cookie press?
Yes!! Instead, place the dough in a pastry bag fitted with a 1/2-inch (13 mm) open star tip.

Easy Eggless Spritz Cookies
Ingredients
- ¾ cup (172 gr) unsalted butter, softened
- 5 oz (146 gr) cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup (100 gr) granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (or ¼ teaspoon almond extract if you prefer)
- 2 ½ cups (350 gr) all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- Gel food coloring optional
- Sprinkles colored sugar or chocolate jimmies to garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400º F.
- In a large bowl, beat with an electric mixer butter, cream cheese, sugar and salt until light and fluffy, for about 5 minutes. Beat in vanilla extract (or any other flavoring that you like). Add the flour and cornstarch and stir together until just barely combined. If needed, use your hand to bring the dough together.
- If you want to tint part of the cookies dough this is the time to do it. Divide the dough, add 1-2 drop of gel food coloring; stir until well combined.
- Using a cookie press fitted with a disk of your choice, press dough 1 in. apart onto ungreased baking sheets. You will need to hold the cookie press perpendicular to the baking sheet and press out the cookies. NOTE: you might need to press twice in order to the cookie to form and stick to the baking sheet.
- Sprinkle with sprinkles, colored sugar or chocolate jimmies to garnish, if desired.
- Bake until set, 10 minutes, or until very lightly browned on the edges. Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the baking sheet for 3-5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
