I don't think so...I don't think you'd be able to use it for chocolate chip dough because the chocolate chips would get caught in the disk. You'd only be able to use dough that is smooth. I could be wrong but I think you might want to err on the side of caution rather than have a customer upset when it doesn't work.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use chocolate chip batter in the cookie press?
Yes, you can use chocolate chip batter in the cookie press, but it may require some adjustments. The batter should be thick enough to hold its shape when pressed out. If the batter is too runny or contains too many chocolate chips, it may not work well in the press.
What type of chocolate chip cookie batter works best in a cookie press?
The best type of chocolate chip cookie batter for a cookie press is one that is slightly thicker and less chunky. A dough that is well-mixed and has fewer chocolate chips will help ensure that the cookies hold their shape when pressed.
Do I need to chill the chocolate chip cookie dough before using it in the cookie press?
Chilling the dough can help it firm up, making it easier to work with in the cookie press. If your chocolate chip batter is too soft, consider chilling it for 30 minutes to an hour before using it.
Can I add nuts or other ingredients to the chocolate chip batter for the cookie press?
While you can add nuts or other ingredients, it's best to keep them to a minimum. Too many add-ins can affect the consistency of the dough and may cause it to not press out properly.
How do I clean the cookie press after using chocolate chip batter?
To clean the cookie press, disassemble it according to the manufacturer's instructions. Use warm, soapy water to clean all parts, ensuring to remove any stuck batter. Rinse thoroughly and allow to dry completely before reassembling.
