1. Preheat the oven to 350°. In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together by mashing them against the sides of the bowl with a large spoon until light and fluffy.

2. Then beat in the eggs one at a time, add the vanilla and continue beating until smooth. Sift the flour into the mixture ˝ cup at a time, beating well after each addition. Finally, beat in the ground nuts. Place the dough in a pastry bag or cookie press fitted with a mediumsized star tip.

3. Pipe the dough out on ungreased baking sheets forming rounds and rings about 1˝ inches in diameter, or S-shapes and crescents about 2 inches long, and spacing the cookies 1 inch apart. Bake in the middle of the oven for about 10 minutes, or until the cookies are firm and light brown. With a spatula, transfer them immediately to a cake rack to cool.
The Spritzgeback can be stored for several weeks in tightly sealed jars or tins.
