INSTRUCTIONS fOR mAKING COOKIES
The proper consistency of cookie dough is critical.
If it is too stiff, the dough will not release from the
cookie press. If it is too soft or sticky, the cookies
will not retain their shape. It is best to use the
recipes in this booklet until you get a feel for the
optimum consistency of the dough. Store-bought
refrigerated cookie doughs are not recommended
for use in this cookie press. Neither is chilling
homemade dough. Practice, practice, practice.
That is what it takes to achieve perfect cookies.
It is well worth it, for you will have beautiful
cookies in the fraction of the time it would take
to roll and cut out cookie dough.
1. Once you have your Cuisinart
®
Electric Cookie
Press assembled, fill with dough to the MAX
fill line.
2. Plug the filled cookie press (BPA-Free) into a
standard 120V AC outlet.
3. Stand the cookie press in the upright position
with the tube cover resting on an unlined/
ungreased baking sheet. Before pressing your
first cookie, all of the air pockets must be
pressed out of the dough. To do so, hold down
the On/Off button until the dough just starts to
be pressed out of the disc.
4. To form a cookie, hold the button down for 1
to 2 seconds, depending on the type of dough
you prepared or the disc you are using. After
pressing for 1 to 2 seconds, gently lift the cookie
press from the pan and then repeat to press
your next cookie, and so on. You should always
have the tube cover resting on the cookie sheet
when pressing cookies. Failing to do so will
prevent the cookies from forming properly.
REfILLING THE COOKIE PRESS
Most recipes provided require the user to refill the
cookie press at least once. Depending on the size of
the cookie that you are pressing, you can usually get
25 to 40 cookies per fill.
1. In order to refill the press, remove the tube from
the motor body, press the shaft to disengage,
and reassemble as instructed on page 2.
2. Refill with dough to MAX fill line. Again, press
all air pockets out of the dough by holding down
the On/Off button, and then press your next
batch of cookies.
NOTE:
if you wish to use a different type of dough or
if dough has built up in the shaft adapter, it may be
necessary to take apart and clean the entire cookie
press before refilling. Always clean and reassemble
your cookie press as directed in this manual, and be
sure to adhere to food safety guidelines.
