I think this is the recipe my grandmother used for Spritz cookies. This recipe comes from an old Pillsbury cookie recipe book. It is not dated, but if I had to guess I would say this was from sometime in the 50's or early 60's.

When I went on line to double check my Butter Rich Spritz recipe from the Buffalo News Holiday Recipe booklet circa 1968 Janice Okun (from my mother, and the year I was born) there was a link to your site. OF COURSE I had to check it out. And it didn't fail to delight. There was a picture (of cookies on a recipe cover that I remembered from my youth), and the cookies we made too... Ahh yes, when you're from Buffalo you really know what it means to BE from Buffalo. BTW my recipe is exactly the same but calls for three egg yolks. Look forward to checking out your site.
