SPRITZ COOKIES - DANISH BUTTER COOKIES

What's the difference between a Spritz cookie and a Danish butter cookie?  I cannot find a difference so I believe these can be referred to as either one.  I love these cookies, they are so yummy, easy and fun to make!

3 sticks butter
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon almond extract
3 1/2 cups flour
decorating sugar or icing, if desired

Beat butter with sugar until creamy.  Mix in egg, extract and flour until combined.
Scoop batter into a cookie press.  Press cookies onto a metal or stoneware pan 1" apart - do not grease pan.
Sprinkle with decorating sugar, if desired.
Bake at 375* for 8-10 minutes.
Serve as is or decorate with icing and sprinkles.
