Rose Gold & Ellen Gold Maine's Brown Sugar Spritz Cookies

Brown Sugar Spritz Cookies

My sister-in-law, Ellen and her Mom, Rose have made these cookies since Ellen was a child.  She and I made them last year while she and my brother Tom were visiting in Florida.  This year, El brought them along when she and Tom came for their annual visit, hooray!  They are delicious with tea or coffee, some of us have even been known to have them for breakfast!  Enjoy.

2 cups brown sugar
1 pound Crisco
2 eggs
1 teaspoons vanilla
2 teaspoons baking powder
pinch of salt
4 - 4 3/4 cups of flour (amount varies with climate!)

Mix first 6 ingredients until well blended.  Add in flour until dough ball pulls away from sides of bowl (or it doesn't stick to your fingers).

Use cookie press to distribute cookies evenly on un-greased cookie sheet.

Bake cookies at 350 degrees until golden brown.  Makes:  12 dozen
