Ingredients
-1 cup shortening
-½ cup sugar
-½ cup brown sugar
-1 egg
-2 ½ cups of flour
-¼ tsp salt
-¼ tsp baking soda
-2 tbs lemon juice (for lemon spritz)
-1 tsp lemon zest (for lemon spritz)
-1 tbs almond extract (for almond spritz)
-1 tsp vanilla extract (for caramel spritz)

To Prepare:

Preheat oven to 300°. (350° for standard oven.)
Using a stand mixer, cream your shortening whilst preparing your dry ingredients in a separate mixing bowl.
Add sugar and cream well. Scrape sided of the mixing bowl and whisk, and beat in one egg and flavor extracts (lemon, almond, and vanilla, depending on the dough). Cream well.
Add a few drops of food coloring of your choice and continue to cream the mixture. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, sifting in a little bit at a time.
Fill cookie press with finished dough. (If you do not have a cookie press, you can roll out the dough and use cookie cutters.)
Use your favorite candies, sprinkles, and edible glitter to decorate cookies before putting them in the oven.
Bake at 300° for 8 to 10 minutes. Allow cookies to cool completely before packaging. (350° in a standard oven.)
Use cupcake wrappers to bundle and distribute. Enjoy!
