History:
It is hard to find out much about Spritz Cookies in Scandinavia. However some of the first recipes started showing up in the early 1900’s thanks to the industrial revolution. Unlike other Scandinavian cookies they are “Spritz” or pressed through a die onto a cookie sheet. They are an update on a Sugar Cookie, but by using the press you could make interesting shapes that would hold their shapes as they baked. One of the earliest mentions of Spritz Cookies is from an ad for a Danish Bakery Shop in Copenhagen. Wherever they originated they are one of Scandinavia’s most recognized cookies.
