NOTE: this is an exact duplicate of Martha Stewart's recipe, even down to the description. See here: http://www.marthastewart.com/318844/cookie-press-cookies -
Easy to make but don't double if you have a Kitchen Aid mixer, mine couldn't handle it, it made alot more than the recipe said it would. Insted of vanilla I used a TBS of peppermint extract and the taste was great! Will def. make again! -
Easy to make and the kids loved decorating them. I just didn't care for the flavor. It was kind of bland to me. Might try adding extracts like the poster below did. Thanks for sharing, my kids and I enjoyed decorating them. -
Great recipe! I bought a cookie press a few weeks ago and realised that the "manual/recipe booklet included" was missing! Finding this recipe really made my day. I halved it and used golden caster sugar and managed to create 6 dozens of pretty, dainty, AND yummy butter cookies! Thanks so much for posting! -
This was so easy to prepare and cook--I made the dough just as instructed, but I divided the dough into different sections and added different flavored extracts to each one. I used anise, lemon and almond extracts, and they came out perfectly. Thanks so much for a great recipe!
