This chocolate spritz cookies recipe will be your new go-to for whipping up holiday-ready treats in less than an hour. These melt-in-your-mouth Chocolate Spritz Cookies first appeared in the 1979 “HERSHEY'S Cocoa Cookbook” as cocoa press cookies for their use of a cookie press. Don’t have a cookie press? Cookie cutters work, too! While you’re baking these chocolate spritz cookies for that holiday party, pair them with Peanut Butter Blossoms — a classic cookie that comes together in less than 30 minutes.
