How to make Chocolate Spritz Cookies

To make these chocolate spritz cookies in the fun shapes, I used a cookie press. You can find them in so many places and they’re very inexpensive. It’s a must when making spritz cookies! I can’t wait to get more shapes and sets. They’re so fun and festive! HERE is the press that I used (I ALSO LINKED TO ALL TOOLS USED IN THE SHOP THIS POST SECTION BELOW, XO), but any small cookie press will work. I used the wreath, snowflake, and Christmas tree shapes for this spritz cookie recipe. Aren’t they so cute! I love the size…makes me feel like I can eat 20 at a time. Is that so wrong?

How long do Spritz Cookies stay fresh?

In general, spritz cookies will stay fresh at room temperature for about 3 days. Store them in an airtight container to keep them fresh. To make them last longer, you can freeze them.

How to Freeze Chocolate Spritz Cookies:

You can freeze the dough before baking, or even freeze the completed cookies. Here’s how:

To Freeze the Chocolate Spritz Cookie DOUGH:

  1. Follow the steps in the recipe card below for making the Chocolate Spritz Dough. Follow through the step for pressing the cookies through the press into shapes.
  2. Once the shapes are formed, place the cookies into a freezer-safe Ziplock bag and press as much air out as possible. Seal in the bag, and then place in ANOTHER bag to create a double layer of protection for freezing.
  3. Store the dough in the freezer for up to 6 months (AWESOME!).
  4. When ready to cook, you can cook from frozen, but add 2-3 minutes onto the cook time for the cookies.

To Freeze the COMPLETED Chocolate Spritz Cookies:

  1. Prepare the cookies fully according to the instructions in the recipe card below.
  2. Allow cookies to fully cool after baking. Do not skip this step!
  3. Place the cookies in a rigid, airtight container for storing. Place the container into a freezer-safe Ziplock bag for extra protection.
  4. Freeze for up to 3 months.
  5. When ready to serve, allow to thaw AT ROOM TEMPERATURE for 2-3 hours before serving.
  6. Enjoy!
