This delicious buttery cookie is called a ‘sprits koekje‘. A Dutch cookie that people have been making and eating since the 16th century (according to Wikipedia). You use a piping bag to pipe the cookies on to the baking sheet. You can pipe them in any shape, like I did today. I made some Christmas trees because it’s December. The cookies are super tasty and easy to make. Perfect cookie to go with your tea or coffee.
Preheat oven to 150 degrees Celsius Beat the butter and sugar light and fluffy (a few minutes) Add the vanilla extract and the egg and mix till a smooth batter Add flour and salt and mix until combined and you don't see any white streaks of flour. Scoop the batter in a piping bag and pipe any shape cookie you want (google 'spritsen' to see the most common sprits shape) on baking sheet lined with baking paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes. Leave the 'spritsen' on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cook completely. Melt the chocolate in a bowl above hot water and dip the cookies in to the chocolate. Let cool/harden on some baking paper. Spritsen
