I cannot get the Cookie Press to work for the life of me :cry: (besides the Peanut Butter cookie recipe in one of the PC cookbooks and the fudge recipe). Anyone have any great tips and/or fool proof recipes?
 
I've never been able to get anything but the recipe it comes with to work.

What is the proper way to clean the cookie press?

The cookie press should be disassembled and hand washed with warm soapy water. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasives as they can damage the press. Dry thoroughly before reassembling.

This can happen if the dough is too warm or the press is not properly greased. Chill the dough for about 15 minutes before using and lightly grease the press with cooking spray or oil before each use.

Make sure to properly secure the press and use firm, consistent pressure when pressing out the dough. If the dough is too soft or sticky, it may also ooze out. Adding a little more flour to the dough can help prevent this.

The cookie press should be stored disassembled in a cool, dry place. It is recommended to store the disks and other small parts in a labeled container or bag to avoid losing them.

The cookie press can be used to make a variety of cookies such as spritz, cheese straws, and even churros. Different disks can be used to create different shapes and designs. Refer to the included recipe book for more ideas and inspiration.
