Serve these cookies year round by freezing batches when you bake them.

Freshly baked spritz cookies are crisp and buttery, and they can be topped with frosting or kept plain until you plan to serve them. Because these cookies absorb moisture from the air, it is important to keep them in an airtight container. Spritz cookies can be kept for several days in an airtight container at room temperature before they begin to get stale and soft. Freezing spritz cookies is an ideal way to make sure you have fresh, crispy and delicious cookies on hand for months.
