Butter Spritz Cookies

These buttery cookies are a traditional  Scandinavian holiday cookie. I have made these since I was a young girl because my Dad loved them.
Note that you must have a cookie press, either electric or manual,to make these.

1 cup confectioners sugar
2 sticks unsalted butter
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla_extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 cups sifted flour
Assorted colored sugars and sprinkles for garnish

Note: You can color the dough if you like. Just pinch off as much as you want to color and add a few drops of food coloring. This is nice to do for Christmas tree shapes.
