Christmas is around the corner, and I find myself inventing new recipes for the Christmas lunch. Today I’m sharing a truly tantalizing appetizer with you. These savory spritz cookies are perfect to serve as an appetizer or aperitif. They are easy to make and pair well with cold cuts and cheeses, and of course, bubbly. I used a cookie press, but you can easily use a pastry bag. Try them, and you’ll impress your friends and family.
