These spritz (German for 'to squirt') cookies remind me of kueh bangkit or kueh bangkek, a Peranakan recipe meaning fragrant cookies or coconut cookies. To enjoy these tiny little cookies, just pop a cookie into the mouth and it will melt or crumble in the mouth.
Nowadays, making them is a lot easier with the cookie press. You can have a variety of shapes and also have a lot more consistency in the thickness.

4) Place portion of the dough into your cookie press, make sure you read the instructions on your particular press to see how to fill it, use, and how long your cookies should bake for.
5) Spritz the cookies onto an ungreased baking sheet a couple inches apart. Sprinkle over your desired sprinkles.
6) Bake the cookies one tray at a time into the center of the oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until lightly golden around the edges. Allow to cool completely before serving.
