I worked on summer in Sweden in a wonderful restaurant on the sea. I was the dishwasher and spent all day in the kitchen. They kept the "spritz" cookies in a large container right near where I worked everyday. I would help myself quire frequently as they were buttery, crisp and fantastic. I think I put on a few pounds that summer from the spritz cookies alone! These are even more dangerous with that delicious sounding filling! They sound quite hopelessly irresistible!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12101189914936599016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5171858975021092818.post-75600272849444075872013-09-21T20:59:53.923+02:002013-09-21T20:59:53.923+02:00Kumar, thank you for your wonderful comment - alwa...Kumar, thank you for your wonderful comment - always appreciate your input and thoughts!

I, too, love vintage pieces that have very specific uses - berry spoons, sauce spoons, asparagus tongs and the like. I can almost taste these cookies now - how perfectly tender they are as you bite into them. I need - yes, NEED - to get a decent pastry bag with large tips. I also need the very small ones, too.
