Spritz cookie maker?
 

Hi! Everyone,
Just bought a plastic Spritz cookie press,,,and I'm having a lot of
problems,,,,,when I put the dough in and press down,,the press pops up no
matter how tight I screw it in.What is the problem and am I doing something
wrong? Please help.
Thanks for all your help.Sandy

Sounds to me like your cookie dough's too stiff. Are you using a
recipe specifically for a cookie press? Most of the press recipes
I've seen generally have some explanation what to do if the dough
isn't coming out of the press -- the dough's too cold (the butter's
too hard), there's too much flour (creating a stiffer dough), that
kind of thing.

Maybe it's the cookie press.

I would say it is the cookie press. They don't make them like they
used to and it is a kitchen item that I had difficulty replacing with
a quality unit recently.

Thanks for your help.......I'm going to try to get a metal one like I had
many years ago.
