chocolate chips, raisins, etc.) must

be very finely chopped, minced, or

grated before being added to dough

or mixtures.

coconut, etc.) must be very finely

chopped or grated again before

using.

Operating Tips and Tricks

840113300 Ev04.qxd 4/8/03 9:47 AM Page 7

Questions & Answers

1. How long will the batteries last?

A set of 4 alkaline batteries will last

through 35 to 40 regular barrels of

stiff dough.

2. How many cookies will one barrel

make?

Approximately 4 dozen cookies can

be made, depending on the disc and

how fast you move the cookie press.

3. Can you use regular AA batteries

in the cookie press instead of

alkaline batteries?

Regular batteries will not provide

as much power and will not last

as long as alkaline batteries.

4. Why won’t cookies and mints cut

off properly?

The dough must be the right

consistency – stiff and pliable – not

crumbly or very soft. Also, the 3

barrel cap feet must touch the

baking sheet in order to form a

cookie or mint. As the unit is lifted

from the cookie sheet, the flow of

dough is cut, forming a cookie or

mint. Be sure to use uncoated,

ungreased baking sheets.

5. Can you decorate a cake with the

cookie press?

The cookie press can be used to

make attractive borders, edges, and

garnishes on cakes and many other

desserts. Stiff icings/frostings work

best.

6. Can you use the cookie press

when the barrel is not full?

Yes. Be sure to follow the assembly

and filling instructions on page 4

and 5.

7. Why won’t the cookie press push

the dough when the barrel is full?

The gear must be turned so that 1–2

threads are showing on the rod (see

step 2 on page 4).

8. Why does the cookie press run

backwards?

The batteries are inserted incorrectly.

See step 1 on page 4 and the

diagram inside the battery

compartment for correct

battery placement.
