Christmas is over, right?! I guess I did not get the memo! 😀 Leaving the jokes aside, I just realised how time flies by! I blinked and it’s almost spring. Although, don’t get me wrong, I am the happiest for getting rid of winter as it’s definitely not my favorite season. I am such a summer person with all its heat and flowy dresses, the nice shirts and light shoes, the greenery and the sun plus all the ice cream! 

cream cheese spritz cookies

These cream cheese spritz cookies were part of the Christmas collection from 2020 as I felt like that year needed to end on a high note. So I baked all sorts of cookies and cozonac and other delicious things for the occasion. And these cookies were a hit! 

The batter is made with cream cheese which adds a bit of tangy taste to them, but also makes them incredibly tender! In terms of flavors however, the sky is the limit! I added a touch of orange zest into the batter and a little piece of candied orange on top, but feel free to use lemon zest or plain vanilla and add other fruits, such as dried cranberries, cherries or pretty much any fruit you would like. So so fun!
