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.
