Helpful Hints
•
Avoid greased or nonstick cookie sheets, as they will not hold the
shape of the cookie as well.
•
When a recipe calls for butter and margarine, both must be used.
Do not substitute one with the other.
•
Dough should be pliable enough to easily emerge from the Disc and
stick on the cookie sheet.
•
If dough is too soft or sticky, refrigerate for 15 minutes, or beat
in a small amount of flour. If the dough is too stiff, mix in the yolk
of one egg.
•
Once dough has been loaded, use it immediately.
•
Cookie dough that has been refrigerated overnight will be too stiff
and will not work properly.
•
Some doughs and Discs work better when you move faster, and
some when you move slower. After some practice with rhythm and
timing, the shapes will improve.
•
Use Discs with cookie dough for the preparation of cookies.
•
Use Pastry Tips with soft dough for decorating canapes, candies,
cookies, desserts, pastry fillings, etc.
•
If dough is not moist enough to hold the decorations, lightly brush a
little water, milk, honey or a little egg white where decorations are to
be placed.
•
The amount of cookies per batch will vary with each recipe, the
Cookie Disc used, and the thickness of the cookies.
•
To avoid your cookie press from jamming never place cold dough in
the cookie press tube. If necessary, place your cookie dough in the
microwave on high for 5 seconds prior to filling the tube with dough.

entire Cookie Press before refilling. For example, if you wish to use a
different type of dough or if dough has built up in the Cam Disc and is
preventing optimal performance. In these cases, clean and re-assemble
your Cookie Press. as directed in this manual. Always practice food
safety guidelines.
