AMAZING! Thanks for so many new ideas for my cookie press. I have been trying to come up with something other than the plain spritz cookies! May have to try one (or 2 or 3) tomorrow!

COOKIE PRESS FUDGE

3 (6 ounce) packages semi-sweek chocolate chips
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk (NOT evaporated milk!)
Dash salt
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla

In heavy saucepan over low heat, melt chips with condensed milk and salt.

Remove from heat; stir in vanilla. elt cool in saucepan for about half an hour, stirring cooasionally. Load into cookie press and press onto cutting board--Parchment paper makes a mess. The first one is usually a throw back, but then it should be about as easy as click'n go.

Pull straight up with your press. It will look nice and shiny, but if you touch it you will dull the shine. Refrigerate cutting board for about half an hour and then use a metal spatula to remove from cutting board.

Disks 3,4,5,7, and 14 work very well with this. You can sprinkle with chopped nuts, or colored sugar after pressing.

COOKIE PRESS FUDGE (2 ingredient version)

2 ingredient fudge

1 package (11.5 ounces) milk chocolate chips
1 container (16 ounces) milk chocolate cake frosting (I like Pillsbury
best)

Allow mixture to cool a bit until it thickens a bit. Then place mixture into barrel of Cookie Press or Easy Accent Decorator. Press out shaped pieces of fudge onto parchment paper (or waxed paper). If using cookie press, it works best with disk # 1. If easy accent decorator, use open star tip. With EAD, can also
use mini-muffin pan, filled with mini-cupcake papers, and fill with fudge mixture. It's very portable and easy to serve this way!

OR

Put ingredients in nonstick cookware skillet over medium heat. Stir until chocolate chips are melted and mixture is smooth. Pour into any stoneware dish with sides (bar pan, rectangular baker, square baker, deep dish baker) and allow to cool and harden. Cut into squares and serve.

Butter Mints

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
3 3/4 cup confectioners' sugar
1 tbsp heavy cream
1/4 tsp. peppermint extract
Green or Red Food coloring

Beat butter in bowl until creamy, about 2 minutes. Gradually beat in
thesugar until well blended. Add the heavy cream, extract and coloring;
beatuntil well mixed.

Transfer batter into cookie press with the wreath disc. Press shapes
ontoparchment paper. Chill.

Suggestions: Make green and red batch and mix in bowl forChristmas. Use
pastel colors around Easter time, Green for St. Patricks Day,etc...

Note: They taste better and break apart better when they are chilled.

Thank you for sharing these delicious cookie press recipes! I am always looking for new and creative ways to use my cookie press. I can't wait to try the Peanut Butter Cookies and the Lemon-Cheese Pressed Cookies. They sound like they would be a hit at my next party or get-together. I also appreciate the tip about using different flavors of Jello for the Jello Cookies, that sounds like a fun and easy way to add some variety to my cookie platter. I will definitely be adding these recipes to my collection. Thanks again for sharing!
