| What You Need: |

8 tablespoons (1 quarter-pound stick) unsalted butter, softened

| How To Cook: |
|
|
1. In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar together with an electric mixer set at medium speed or by beating them with a wooden spoon until light and fluffy.
|
2. Then add the egg yolks and almond extract. Sift the flour and salt together and add it a third at a time to the creamed mixture, beating it well after each addition with a wooden spoon.
|
3. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Place the dough in a pastry bag fitted with a small star tip. Force the dough out onto an ungreased cookie sheet in S or O shapes about 2 inches in diameter.
|
4. Bake for 10 or 12 minutes, or until the cookies are a light gold. Immediately remove them to a cake rack with a wide spatula.
|
5. The cooked "Spritsar" can be stored for several weeks in tightly sealed tins.
