There could be a few reasons why your dough is not sticking to the stone. Firstly, make sure that the stone is completely clean and dry before using it. Any moisture or residue on the stone can prevent the dough from sticking. Also, check the consistency of your dough - if it is too dry or crumbly, it may not stick to the stone properly. Adding a small amount of water or milk to the dough can help improve its stickiness. Lastly, try lightly greasing the stone with a cooking spray or oil before using the cookie press to help the dough adhere better.
If your dough is sticking to the cookie press and not releasing properly, try dusting the press with a small amount of flour or powdered sugar before using it. This will create a barrier between the dough and the press, making it easier to release the dough without sticking. Additionally, make sure to clean the cookie press thoroughly between uses to prevent any build-up of dough that can cause sticking.
It is not recommended to use chilled cookie dough with the cookie press. The dough needs to be at room temperature in order to be pliable enough to pass through the press and stick to the stone. If your dough is too cold, it may not stick to the stone or may cause the press to clog. Allow the dough to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before using it with the cookie press.
If your cookie dough is too soft and not holding its shape when using the press, try chilling the dough in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before using it. This will help the dough firm up and hold its shape when pressed through the cookie press. You can also add a bit more flour to the dough to help thicken it and hold its form when pressed.
To clean the cookie press, first disassemble it by removing the plunger and disc. Wash these parts in warm soapy water, making sure to remove any dough residue. Use a small brush or toothpick to remove any dough that may be stuck in the crevices of the press. Wipe the body of the press with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly before reassembling. Avoid submerging the entire press in water, as this can damage the inner mechanism.
