These evaporate in your mouth. Some people make these simple spritz cookies with almond extract (1/2 to 1 teaspoon, to taste) but the lemon adds a very fresh and crisp taste to enhance what is basically a shortbread recipe. Kids love to make the shapes of trees or camels or wreaths. Do not overbake—they shouldn’t turn even slightly brown.
Cream butter, cream cheese and sugar well in a mixer. Add egg yolk and flavorings. Beat until very light.
Shake flour through a fine sieve with salt. Add flour mixture to butter mixture in 1/2-cupfuls until it is blended well.
Force through a spritz cookie press or spritz gun onto cookie sheets. Bake at 350ºF for 15 minutes or less. Underbake these; do not let them brown. Remove onto wire rack and let cool.
Makes 6 dozen.
