Beautiful pink ombre spritz cookies with sprinkles, perfect for Valentine’s Day parties, treat bags for kids, or a sweet baby shower dessert table that looks stunning and festive.
Beat butter and cream cheese together until smooth, add sugar, almond extract, and vanilla, and continue mixing until the texture becomes light, fluffy, and fully combined.
Add the flour in two stages, mixing on low speed and scraping the bowl often, until a smooth dough forms, then divide the dough evenly and color each portion with gel food coloring if desired.
Transfer the colored dough into a spritz cookie press, press heart shapes onto an aluminum baking sheet, and bake for 8 to 10 minutes until the edges turn lightly golden.
Let cookies rest on the baking sheet briefly, transfer to a cooling rack, cool completely, then decorate with powdered sugar glaze and colorful sprinkles before serving or packaging for parties.
