Cheese Straws in the Cookie Press?

[INGonzalez]

Has anyone ever tried this? The recipe I have seems to be a little "hard" and I do not know if the cookie press can handle it. Has anyone done this and had to modify a recipe to work in the cookie press?

I used the biggest tip and it worked fine for me.

Yes, I have tried using a cookie press with a recipe that was a bit too hard. I found that adding a little bit of extra liquid, such as milk or water, helped to make the dough more pliable and easier to work with in the cookie press. You may also want to try chilling the dough before using the cookie press, as this can help it hold its shape better. If all else fails, you can always try adjusting the recipe by adding more butter or oil to make the dough softer. Good luck!
