Easy Spritz Cookies, Gorgeous Flowers & Hearts
I didn't really like the simple coloring of baked sweets in general, and came up with this recipe while I was in grade school, thinking it'll be perfect for many celebrations, such as enrollment, commencement, etc. I've been using it as a gift during many occasions for many years ever since.
Following a request I received, I listed katakuriko potato starch as a substitute ingredient for corn starch, but I changed it to cake flour since although using katakuriko starch made it easier to pipe, the grooved pattern didn't come out that well.
The grooved pattern will come out better when the dough is firm.
When using powdered food coloring, dissolve with warm water or water, and color it stronger.
If the dough seems too firm during the winter etc., soften by adding water or milk (no more than about 10 ml) or by warming it up a bit.
I made the dough in the photo by putting the colored dough between the non-colored ones.
The coloring will come out nicely that way. Recipe by Momora

Cooking Instructions
- 1
If the butter is firm, microwave on low until it softens. To simplify the process, sift the dry ingredients (sieve is fine), preheat the oven to 170℃ (340℉), and line A baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2
Add butter and sugar to a bowl and mix well with a spatula. Once mixed, add egg yolk and a few droplets of vanilla oil and continue mixing.
- 3
Add sifted ingredients in several batches, stirring after each addition. Once it's no longer floury and comes together, add powdered food coloring to half of the dough. Please refer to Step 8 for quantities.
- 4
Put the dough from Step 3 into a pastry bag (put the colored dough between non-colored dough), about half at a time, and pipe onto baking sheet. I'm using a transparent bag so it's easy to see. The bag is easier to handle if you don't put too much dough in at one time.
- 5
The gradation will look beautiful if you sandwich colored dough between the non-colored dough In that case, place the colored dough on a spatula, open up the pastry bag to the tip, and squeeze the dough near the tip; it's easy this way.
- 6
When creating rose shaped flowers and hearts, pipe outward from the inside and shape however you like (without difference in sizes and all rather tall), and pipe inward when creating cherry blossoms. It'll look nice this way. Feel free to sprinkle dragées, etc. if you like.
- 7
Bake in preheated oven at 170℃ (338℉) for about 10 minutes and then it's done. Don't bake too much Please be careful since they will easily crumble fresh out of the oven.
- 8
Red sweet potato powder: about 2 tablespoons. To create cherry blossom color: use about 1/2 teaspoon of red food coloring 1 to 2 g of matcha. Dissolve each with about 5 ml of water or warm water.

Sakura Spritz Cookies Sakura Spritz Cookies
I bought a sakura-shaped nozzle thinking to myself, "I'm going to make cookies!". But whenever adding food coloring to my usual recipe the batter always becomes orange when I mix it with egg yolk. I thought up a recipe that resulted in a beautiful sakura color.Add the milk or heavy cream a little at a time! It's best to bring it to room temperature.The nice sakura color will fade if you bake them too long, so keep an eye on them as they bake. Less sugar makes the cookies less likely to burn and results in a prettier color. Recipe by haco858 -
Purple Sweet Potato Spritz Cookies Purple Sweet Potato Spritz Cookies
I wanted to make a cute purple cookies decorated with heart-shaped sugar decorations.Apparently purple sweet potatoes turn green when combined with egg, so to keep the beautiful color I didn't use any eggs. However I also heard that if you add a bit of lemon juice to the purple yam it neutralizes the pH so you can add eggs.When you first add the milk the butter will split, but if you keep mixing it it will come together.You can use maraschino cherries or almond slices instead of the sugar hearts. You can also use cocoa powder or green tea in place of the purple sweet potato powder.You can also substitute margarine for the butter and heavy cream for the milk. Recipe by Milk to Cocoa to Momo -
