A customer asked me how to solve this problem : some of the designs for her cookie press do not release dough out

The number on the disk needs to be facing out. Tell her to read the use/care card. I believe it says it to have the number facing out. Hope that helps you out.

I too have hadthe same problem and have the number facing out, have read the instruction card...wondering if maybe a little flour wouldn't hurt? they dont' come out correctly.......

HELP...I LOVE making holiday cookies and this would be a BLAST......

I have heard of a tip to fix this, but I can't remember what is was! I think it was something about holding the press still for a second when you squeeze out the cookie. Can someone else help?

I just found this thread with the tip on it!

I tend to make my dough a little more moist than I normally would. I tell all of my guestws to give the press a few times before they give up. It does take a "knack" to get all of that dough through those little hjoles. I have found that holding the press on the surface and evenly squeezing as I pull up on the press, works the best. HTH

You want your dough to be WARM--I keep it in my SS bowl in a sink full of hot water. Then as you press, hold it there and then twist and lift.

I have heard on a CD from the Test kitchens that many people over measuure the dry ingredients and under measure the wet and that causes problems with the cookie press

So, I should twist the press as I am lifting? I have used mine a few times and likes it and think that I would love it if I practiced more.
