How Do You Operate a Cookie Press?
A cookie press is a cooking utensil that creates cookies of a desired shape, all of the same size. It consists of the cookie shaper, a tube filled with cookie dough and a trigger to create the cookies. Cookie presses can help you make Spritz cookies and other varieties that need to be the same size and shape consistently. Be sure to use the proper type of dough in your cookie press, such as Spritz cookie dough. Does this Spark an idea?
