You have to get a feel for the dough. If her dough was runny, she sould have refrigerated for 15 minutes. If too hard leave at room temp. for 15. You can't use a hot stone. Press, WAIT a second to give it time to attach, then pull off.
 
Dear fellow cookie press enthusiast, Thank you for sharing these amazing resources for new cookie press recipes! As a fellow pampered chef consultant, I am always on the lookout for new and exciting recipes to try with my cookie press. I can't wait to try out the Wilton press tips and the cream cheese press recipe you mentioned. I also highly recommend checking out the sites you shared, especially the Christmas-cookies.com and Joyofbaking.com. Their cookie pictures are making my mouth water! And thank you for including Martha Stewart's recipe – I can always count on her for delicious and reliable recipes. I'm sure we will both have a blast trying out these new recipes and sharing our successes. Happy baking! Best,
 

1. What is a cookie press and how does it work?

A cookie press is a kitchen tool used to make decorative cookies. It has a cylindrical barrel with a plunger at one end and a variety of disks with different shapes at the other end. To use it, you simply fill the barrel with cookie dough, insert a disk of your choice, and press the plunger to extrude the dough into the desired shape onto a baking sheet.

2. Can I use any cookie dough with a cookie press?

Yes, you can use any soft dough that is suitable for rolling and cutting. This includes classic sugar cookie dough, shortbread dough, and even some types of chocolate chip cookie dough. Just make sure the dough is not too stiff or too sticky, as this can affect the performance of the cookie press.

3. What are some tips for using a cookie press?

First, make sure your dough is at room temperature and not too cold. This will make it easier to extrude through the press. Also, lightly flour the disks and the baking sheet to prevent sticking. When pressing the dough, hold the cookie press at a 90-degree angle to the baking sheet, and apply even pressure to the plunger for consistent results.

4. Are there any creative ways to use a cookie press besides making cookies?

Absolutely! You can use a cookie press to make fun shapes with mashed potatoes, rice krispie treats, or even homemade play dough. You can also use it to make homemade crackers or to decorate cupcakes with frosting.

5. How do I clean and store my cookie press?

After use, disassemble the cookie press and wash all the parts in warm soapy water. Make sure to dry them thoroughly before storing. It is best to store the press disassembled in a cool, dry place to prevent any rust or damage to the metal parts. You can also store it in its original box or in a plastic container with the disks and instructions for easy access.
