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!
