This is my husband's grandmother's recipe. A very old recipe. Grandma always baked plenty of Spritz for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Grandma was born in the late 1800's in Sweden. She was a wonderful baker. This is a very stiff cookie dough. Also a very fragile cookie when baked. I always let them set a minute or two on the cookie tray when they come out of the oven. I think this helps. I hope you enjoy these cookies as much as our family .
