'''''Spritzgebäck''''' is a type of German [[Christmas]] [[biscuit]] made of [[flour]], [[butter]], [[sugar]] and [[Egg (food)|eggs]]. When made correctly, the cookies are crisp, fragile, somewhat dry, and buttery. The German verb ''spritzen'' means ''to squirt'' in English. As the name implies, these cookies are made by extruding, or "squirting" the dough with a press fitted with patterned holes (a [[cookie press]]) or with a cake decorator to which a variety of nozzles may be fitted.

Spritzgebäck (German: [ˈʃpʁɪt͡sɡəˌbɛk] ), also called a spritz cookie in the United States,[1] is a type biscuit or cookie of German and Alsatian-Mosellan origin made of a rich shortcrust pastry. When made correctly, the cookies are crisp, fragile, somewhat dry, and buttery.
The German root verb spritzen (German: [ˌʃpʁɪt͡sn̩] ) is cognate with the English to spurt. As the name implies, these cookies are made by squeezing, or "spritzing", the dough through a cookie press fitted with patterned holes (or extruded through a cake decorator or pastry bag to which a variety of nozzles may be fitted).
