I love Spritz Cookies!  My grandma was a full blooded Swede and a cook by trade and made melt in your mouth Spritz Cookies.  I will have to try this.  Would you use plain yogurt or vanilla flavored?

I would use plain yogurt since there is already vanilla in the recipe. Let me know how the recipe works out for you.
