I've been wanting to make these since they showed up in the new cookbook. I'm doing a training on the cookie press for our meeting on Satuday so I made these last night. Thought I would share the following:
NOT a good show recipe!
Fun recipe to make but takes a lot longer than regular spritz cookies to put together
They turned out cute but out of the two disks they recommended, I couldn't get one to work
I wasted about 1/3 of the dough on ruined cookies. Tried to go back and just put all that back into the cookie press but they were turning out a really ugly color!
The dough does not roll into tubes! I had to shape them into a long rectangle and then slightly roll them after I cut them into thirds.
The cherry or chocolate part would make good cooies just by themselves!
Not sure if they tasted right, I sort of forgot to add the egg when I was supposed to and added it to the finished dough right before I split it into thirds.
I used my kitchen aide mixer and instead of using three different bowls to mix the different colors in, I just put one dough back into the bowl, mixed it up, dumped it out and repeated. Made it easier to only wash one bowl!
