I recieved a cookie press with a pair of bake sheets i bought. I figure to put the cookie dough in the tube and press either the handle or the rod down. It doesn't do anything + the cookie shape attatchement are only little holes , how does that make a whole cookie?
Stand the press on the ungreased cookie sheet. As you press the dough through the holes, it squishes on to the sheet... keep pressing until the dough is almost coming out from under the press... then lift th press up. If your dough is the right consistency, it will stick to the pan in the shape of a flower or tree, whatever the attachment is.
The handle should send the dough down the tube. The little holes you see are the design it is going to make. What you do is, place the end of the cookie press onto the sheet and start pressing the handle. You want enough dough to come out to kinda make a circle.....slightly lift the cookie press while the dough is coming out. Maybe a 1/8 of a inch. Then once you get the size of the cookie you want.....stop pumping the handle and slowly lift the press. You will get a cookie with a specific design.
