I bought a cookie press. Yey! Been wanting to have one for some time now. Finally got my mom to get me one. Its to make cookies fast because it can pump out cookies and also do icing. This one i bought has 10 cutout disks to make cookies and 6 icing tips for decorating cakes. Its made out of plastic and has a metal rod with notches.

This is how it looks like when I take it apart. What you do is pull back the metal rod at the squeeze part which has a handle. Then choose a disk (I showed two there) and attach it to the tube using the red ring at one end. Then fill the tube with your dough. Screw on the handle part and squeeze it to push out the cookie.

The cookie dough has to be one especially made for a cookie press - its usually softer and the quantity of butter is more - and is also called a spritz cookie. You must also bake it on a cookie sheet that is ungreased and unlined because if not the cookie wont stick to the pan after you press it.

I bought my for quite cheap, only RM11.90 at Tesco, Mutiara Damansara. Recipe tomorrow!
