I made the coffee variety and they were delicious! I doubled the coffee, but otherwise prepared as directed. I made some with the spritz attachment on my cookie press, and some with one of the press' other shapes. To make them extra fancy, I drizzled some melted white and dark chocolate over them. They were to die for! I'd rate them 10 stars if I could. Thanks for posting! I know I'll be making them again.
