I used this recipe at christmas time. My husband and myself are both diabetic, so I substituted splenda for the sugar. The cookies were a huge hit! Did it again to take cookies to the in-laws on Christmas, to a father in law who is newly diagnosed as diabetic. He fell in love with the cookies, and insists that I show my mother in law exactly how to make them. So I bought her a cookie press. :) Thanks for this great recipe.

Worked great for me! Flavor was really nice. My husband doesn't like sugar cookies, so these were a nice twist. No problems using my cookie press. I cooked the first two batches too long, but by the third attempt I got it right.

This is my first try at making cookies with a press. This recipe is very tasty. The first batch I made I cut the cinnamon in half as some of the posts suggested and I found them to be a bit bland. The next batch I put the suggested amount and thought they were much improved.

Very easy. First, I didn't have cinnamon, so I used a little nutmeg as another reviewer recommended. I felt the first batch was a little bland, so I added orange extract. I added green food coloring to make trees and sprinkled with sugar crystals. Much better with a nice citrus flavor.

Great Cookie! I just used 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg instead of the cinnamon, as my family is not a fan of cinnamon. Turned out really good!! Will make again!

These were excellent. They have a richer flavor than traditional Spritz. Even my mother with her 100 year old recipe agreed that they were better.
