A classic Christmas cookie, originated in Germany and Scandinavia. Spritz is a simple butter cookie pressed into festive shapes and topped with all sorts of garnishes.
Registered Dietitian Mary LaRock flavored these phyllo rolls with orange and dark chocolate for a winning cookie that will be a lovely addition to any holiday cookie platter.
I flavored the dough with the pumpkin and added cardamom. I love the warmth of cardamom and it is a great partner with pumpkin. The filling was simple, toasted pecans, sugar and melted butter. The dough is only lightly sweetened so a filling with sugar is perfect for this recipe. The cream cheese icing was really the star of this bread. We love maple. We love bourbon. And the two together with cream cheese and a little sugar is … heavenly.
