[edith seelhoff]

i wouild need to know if spritz cookies can be cut with a cookie cutter instead of using a cookie press which we dont have but we have a lot of cutters we also need other recipes that we can use these cutters something other then sugar cookies

Never tried it, but if you look you can find a good Mirro cookie press at yard sales. We bought one with 16 pattern inserts for 50 cents....

Yes, you can roll out and then cut them with cutters.

My Mom who was born and raised in Germany makes these, I think. She uses her meat grinder that has a special end on it and she slides in the pattern she wants. They look like a feeler gauge like you would use for gapping spark plugs, and they have different designs for the cookie. Same thing, or am I way off base here? Anyway, it's a really cool set up Mom has when she makes her German Christmas cookies. Hazlenut and Orange are the two she makes these days. I love em both, but the Orange are my slight favorite.
