Spritz cookies: PB, classic and chocolate

It was my first time attempting to make Spritz cookies.
*peanut butter spritz*
*classic spritz *
*chocolate spritz cookies.*
Moi Favorite?
*drumrolll* .....
Peanut butter is the best!! it's really good. :D
2nd fave?
Classic vanilla: like the light crunch :)
3rd fave or not really a fave...
chocolate one
I liked cocoa least because it tasted a little bitter with too much cocoa powder. Maybe I'll add real chocolate next time to give it a richer flavor.

With the help of a cookie press, i managed to make beautiful looking cookies. This machine is able to make cookies, snacks & appetizers, desserts & pasteries. **eye ball rolling gleefully**** its 40% off!!**** less than $20! ^_^

Bagged or pressed cookies are made from soft doughs. The dough has to be soft enough to be forced through a pastry bag, but stiff enough to hold its shape.
