Well Heidi, whether I'm your SS or not, feel free to pass the goodies around!
Hey Kim - I think I know who we will be visiting this Christmas season. But do you think 30 cookies/minute is enough?Originally Posted by valanhb
I really can't wait to use it, but I have to get to the grocery store to get ingredients, so it will have to wait until at least Friday.
I didn't even realize that it was electric until I took the instructions out of the box! LOL I have just been wanting a cookie press so I was pretty excited to find one at such a good price.It's got a little thumb button that presses the dough out so you have more control over the cookies. It says it will press out like 30 cookies/minute!Christmas cookies could be a breeze!!
Mmmm. That's especially good, since chocolate chips are DARK chocolate. Yum!Originally Posted by valanhb
So I think I've decided on making "Chocolate Kisses" as my first cookie press cookie. Earl is a chocolate freak, and this recipe looks really good - it's made with melted chocolate chips instead of cocoa.I have no idea how many cookies this recipe makes - could be a couple dozen, could be hundreds.Jana & Kim, I'll let you know if I need to get rid of some cookies.
Isn't adjusting for altitude fun? Maybe that is why we are such adventurous spirits here. Good luck on the next batch.Originally Posted by valanhb
Well, I made my first batch of cookies with my press.Well...they taste good...
Basically, the recipes in the book don't take altitude into account, so there wasn't nearly enough liquid and the dough was too thick. So instead of looking like flowers they look like crowns with pointy things. LOL Ah, well, that's why you make a practice batch.I loved working with the press, though! I can see where a manual one would be a pain, but the electric one is fab!!!
What?! You MEASURE your ingredients!!!??? LOLOriginally Posted by katachtig
