Holiday Spritz Cookies
The Holiday Spritz from Cookies United is a vanilla spritz cookie topped with cherry jam, packed in a 5 lb bulk box at about 31 cookies per pound. It comes finished and ready to serve. We stock it in bulk and wholesale for bakeries, delis, caterers, grocery bakery counters, and foodservice.
The jam sits on top of the cookie rather than inside it, which puts a spot of red at the center of the pressed ridges. The look is the old-fashioned bakery spritz, the kind that shows up on Christmas trays and in tins every December.
How a Spritz Cookie Is Made
Spritz is a pressed cookie. The dough goes through a shaped nozzle or press rather than being rolled and cut, which is where the ridged surface and the defined edges come from. The name traces to the German spritzen, to squirt, describing the pressing action itself.
The dough has to be soft enough to push through a press but firm enough to hold the ridges through baking. That balance is what makes spritz a bakery cookie rather than a home staple in volume settings, and it is why the shape looks consistent piece to piece.
The Cherry Jam Topping
A spoonful of cherry jam goes on top, set with pectin and brightened with citric acid so the fruit reads tart against a sweet vanilla base. Sodium benzoate keeps it stable on the shelf.
Topping rather than filling is the distinction here. The jam is visible on the finished cookie, supplying both the flavor contrast and the only color on an otherwise pale piece, so nothing needs to be added in sprinkles or icing.
Where the Format Sits
At roughly 31 to the pound this is a mid-size cookie, bigger than the mini formats in the seasonal line but lighter than the shortbread pieces. A 5 lb case runs about 155 cookies.
That size works for tray building. It is substantial enough to stand on its own next to larger cookies without looking like a filler piece, and small enough that a customer will take one alongside two or three others.
The Traditional Christmas Cookie Position
Spritz belongs to the old European Christmas baking repertoire, alongside pfeffernusse and spekulatius, and it carries that heritage on a tray. For customers who want the cookie they remember rather than a novelty shape, this is the piece that satisfies.
Buying it finished removes the two slowest steps from your own production: pressing consistent shapes and depositing jam by hand on every piece.

Storage and Handling
Store dry at room temperature. There is no chocolate on this cookie, so it avoids the melting risk that comes with coated or drizzled items in warm weather.
Keep the box closed between uses. The jam is deposited on the surface rather than enclosed, so it benefits from being kept out of dry air and away from anything that would press against it in the case.
