OXO Good Grips 14-Piece Cookie Press Set, Cookie Press with 12 Stainless Stee...

This cookie set is easy to use and feels well-made. The shapes come out clean, but the cookies themselves are on the smaller side. I probably still need to improve my dough, because mine tend to bake flat and end up looking very similar to each other. With the right consistency and a bit more practice, I’m sure I’ll get results closer to the beautiful designs shown in the product photos

I bought this press on sale through the warehouse deals. Supposedly just damaged packaging but the package looked fine. When I went to make a batch I noticed I couldn't get the top off, so I loaded it from the bottom and made a bunch of adorable cookies that tasted great. The unit cranked out those cookies in warp speed and they cooked up perfectly. When I was done I figured I would soak the press in warm water and finally get it unscrewed for cleaning as some dough got trapped between the chambers...no luck. I guess that is why it was returned but now I have a press with cookie dough all stuck on it to return...yuk! I chatted with Amazon, told them the situation and they credited me for the cost of the press and I am ordering another...no need to send it back. This is why I shop here..so hassle free. Manufacturing defect aside, this was the most effortless press I have ever used! I found after I primed the unit and scraped off the dough as instructed I still had to do a double press to get the first cookie out, which was now double the size of all the rest. No problem, I just scooped it up and put it back in the bowl for the next batch. Nothing was wasted. The rest of the cookies came out perfect with one press and if I had enough cookie sheets I could have knocked out the entire dough batch in about ten minutes...EVEN with reload time! I used a teaspoon to press out any air pockets...made sure my pan was ungreased and cold (made sure the pan cooled before I loaded on another batch) rotated the pan in the oven halfway through as suggested in the recipe and every cookie came out picture perfect in warp speed. I loved how easy it was to change disks between batches so I was able to check out several of the designs and they all came out adorable. The cookies are petite but I like that...some others complained they were too small...I find the small size adds to their charm. I made the lemon poppy seed variation of the butter cookie included with the unit...I'm a lemon freak so next time I will double the amount of lemon extract, but it still made for a tender, flavorful cookie with a hint of lemon. I purchased the autumn disk set but have not used it yet. Wanted the spring set but they are unavailable at the moment. My only regret is that I will have to wait for the new press to arrive to make more cookies... Update: The new press works great and I since I couldn't find a good lemon cookie recipe for this press I created one that I am thrilled with. If you're looking for a mild lemon flavor...move on, this is NOT the cookie for you. Lemon Poppy Sunflower Cookies 2 Sticks cold butter cut into teaspoon slices 3 ounces softened cream cheese 1 cup sugar 1 egg yolk I teaspoon lemon oil (I got this at King Arthur Flour) if you use extract, double it and add more as desired I heaping teaspoon of european lemon zest (King Arthur again) fresh zest of one lemon would be fine 1 teaspoon lemon powder (King Arthur) have no idea what to sub here maybe double the zest 2 1/2 Cups King Arthur All Purpose Flour (the only flour I use) 1/4 teaspoon of salt (if your using salted butter you can skip this) Poppy seeds Lemon sugar (again King Arthur, but I was disappointed how minimal the taste was...perfect lemon yellow color however so I used it...a nice lemon yellow sanding sugar would work just fine) Makes 8 dozen cookies Preheat oven to 350 degrees Cream butter and cream cheese and sugar (I used my Kitchenaid mixer and it took a lot longer than you would think) Look for the mixture to change color to a light yellow almost white with no lumps of butter showing, it should be light and fluffy...took me about 10 minutes on medium speed) Add egg yolk, lemon oil, lemon zest, lemon powder mix until well combine and then taste to see if it's lemony enough for you and adjust as needed (I added more lemon powder as a first instinct). Combine flour and salt and slowly add to butter mixture while mixing...here's where a lot of people go wrong, don't be afraid to mix this, you won't get a tough cookie but if it's not light enough it won't go through the press. Load the dough with a teaspoon into the press fitted with the sunflower disc, pushing the dough down with the teaspoon to push out any air pockets, if any dough starts coming out of the press just pop it back in the bowl for the next batch. Press cookies out on a COLD UNGREASED COOKIE SHEET. Don't try to use parchment, foil or silpat, it just won't work. I've never had a cookie stick or break. You may have to press twice to get the first cookie out, this will be bigger than the rest, I just scoop it up, put it back in the bowl and press another in it's place. Dust with lemon sugar or yellow sanding sugar and then sprinkle poppy seeds in the center. I use a 1/8th teaspoon for this and tried several different ways, one depressing the center with the measuring spoon and pouring some poppy seeds in...but in the end I just sprinkled some around the center (there is a peak in the very center) I liked the way this looked the best. Baking: my oven is true to temp and at first I baked for 12 minutes, rotating the pan after 6 minutes. The end result was a cookie that was golden just around the edges and somewhat pale. The texture was delicate with a nice crumb. Next I tried at 14 minutes rotating after 7 minutes. Now the end result had the golden color encroaching up the petals a bit and I just loved this look! Much more reminiscent of a real sunflower. The texture was now crispy and I preferred it by far. Now these cookies are amazing just as is, but I'm planning on melting some lemon wafers (King Arthur) and dipping the bottoms in it for a cookie that will hit it out of the park. Also thought about sandwiching two cookies between some of the melted lemon wafers but that may be just too much cookie. I'll update with the results. Hope you enjoy this recipe! UPDATE: dipping the bottoms in the melted lemon wafers was just too much of a hassle so I put a dollop of about 1/8th-1/4 teaspoon of the melted lemon wafers on the flat side of a cookie and sandwiched it with another. The small size of the cookie was perfect for this and I just loved the result. I melted about a half cup of wafers in the microwave for 2-30 second burst on high and it was enough to sandwich about 40 cookies (80 cookies sandwiched). I left the rest as is. This cookie is a winner IMHO. ANOTHER UPDATE: Duh! I lined a sheet with parchment paper, put a dollop of melted lemon wafer on the paper and centered a cookie on it and pressed gently. Worked like a charm. You could also put the dollop directly on the back of the cookie and then place on the sheet...I posted some photos. Here you don't want any brown color so I baked for 12 minutes rotating after 6.

I just used it today for the first time, and the cookies as others have said, are small but no problem, they still turn out fine. I used the Pampered Chef cookie recipe which came with my old, broken Pampered Chef press, because I'm used to that recipe which always turns out well. My only problem with this OXO press is the gray button, it's very hard to press and the plunger is sluggish, doesn't move very fast or smooth. I don't know if that's normal or if I got a defective one, but I made about 4 dozen cookies and it's still the same, I have to press the button really hard and the plunger is still sluggish. Otherwise, it's easy to use and clean.

After reading several of the negative review of this item, I was reluctant to order it. I did anyway because OXO products are of good quality in my experience. I am glad I did. I made several dozen Christmas tree cookies for the holiday and the cookie press worked very well. Better, in fact, than the electric press it replaced. It cleaned up easily and I stored it in the box it came in ready for next year’s baking. Good quality and smooth, easy operation. Would buy again.

Solid quality and very practical. The grips are comfortable, tools feel sturdy, and it covers most everyday kitchen needs. Easy to use and clean. Exactl what you expect from OXO!

For many, many years I used a Wearever electric cookie press. This manual cookie press is WAY easier to use! The tube fills easily, the “gun” only takes one or two clicks-depending on the dough & the cookie shape to produce a perfect cookie every time. Directions included are simple and easy to understand.Although many of the parts are dishwasher safe, I chose to hand wash everything-very easy to take apart and thoroughly clean. The 12 cookie press discs it comes with provide a good variety for several occasions including “just Because.” The press is of quality construction and the discs are a good weight and will definitely last. Worth every penny. Highly recommend this cookie press!

For the last 30+ years, my family has used an electric “super shooter” cookie press every Christmas. When it finally broke last year, we tried a couple of different brands of electric cookie presses- none of them were strong enough to push the dough through repeatedly. I didn’t want to purchase a manual cookie press because I’ve heard it was too hard to press.. but this one works incredibly well and is super easy to press down 100+ times in a row and my hands are not tired! Easy to clean and seems like great quality material as well. Hopeful this will last the next 30+ years. Love oxo products- BUY this!!

Update-1: This cookie press is brilliant. I just wanted to update on the lessons we learned after using this. The most important part is that there should be NO air in the jar/flask. So, fill it up with dough and use something like a small plunger/spoon to push the dough down the flask/jar so there is no gap/air inside it. Sometimes, you are not cooking that many cookies and do not have enough dough to fill it or maybe the last batch of dough is not enough to fill it, then you can push the dough to the bottom, close the lid and press the lever until it reaches right near the dough. If you follow this "no air" rule, you are guaranteed to get '1 cookie per 1 press of the lever' which means 60 cookies in 60 seconds! Since we are following this rule, we do not even need baking sheets now! -- This is a perfect cookie set at a very reasonable price. Before getting the OXO, I would spend around 40-45 minutes fighting with the paper based pressing. Even bought a Martha Stewart cookie pressing set but that was of no use either. OXO was so simple to setup and very easy to use and I was able to get some very nice shaped cookies on first try & I am sure they will get even better with time. 30 cookies were done in 10 minutes! On my first go, I had to press the lever "twice" every time to get a single cookie. Only the last cookie came out with "one" lever press. The issue could be that I was pressing them right onto the baking tray rather than on a baking sheet. In any case, I do not mind one or two press as the cookies were coming out in perfect shape. (Amazon Basics has reusable baking sheets at a good price) The button that releases the plunger can be made better. Its very subtle. You have to push it at the right spot bofore the plunger should be pulled. I think that's where a lot of people are breaking it because if you pull the plunger a bit hard, it will just go through without the button but will damage the grooves and will eventually break. Almost all parts can be taken out & are easily washable so a very well thought out design. Overall, a very nice product that I am very happy with.

J'ai acheté ce Presse Cookie en espérant me simplifier la tâche pour les petits sablés de fin d'année. L'utilisation de l'emporte pièce est parfois laborieuse, ce qui n'est pas le cas avec cet appareil, pas besoin de rouleau à patisserie, de rechercher une bonne consistance en faisant refroidir la pâte au frigo etc. J'ai respecté la recette du livret, et avec ma fille de 6 ans, nous avons réalisé des petits sablés délicieux.... facilement et rapidement Cet appareil est vraiment une super alternative à l'emporte-pièce, facile à manipuler, l'activité est ludique pour les enfants. Il y a le choix des motifs avec les disques de rechange... Rien à dire, je suis très satisfaite de mon achat, et je conseille le produit de bonne qualité. Je pense acheter des disques à thème par la suite pour compléter l'appareil.

This gadget is amazing. No more rolling out dough and cutting out shapes and removing all the surronding dough and rerolling this dough again, now gone tough, putting them one by one on the tray, measuring the spacing between them etc. This gadget is an absolute pleasure. It will save you so much time and each cookie is so perfectly identical to the next with factory type of shape, so much so that people will not realize they are home made! The spacing is automatically done because of the width of the gadget. I really had fun using it. Won't think twice about making cookies anymore. It is a very clever gadget i could not get my head around how it would work and I'm still not 100% sure how it does. It seems that with one click, enough dough comes out so that the seperate pieces join together. It is easy to clean. You wont be sorry if you get it, guaranteed.

Resistente. Formas muy bonitas de galleta. Limpio y cómodo y no se oxida ni pudre. Ajuda mucho que sea transparente oara saber tus calculos a la hora de hacer galletas.

Ich hatte zunächst mit der hochgelobten Gebäckpresse von TPC geliebäugelt, aber der Preis hat mich dann doch etwas abgeschreckt. Auf der Suche nach einer günstigeren Alternative bin ich dann auf diese hier von OXO gestoßen. Von dieser Firma besitze ich bereits eine Salatschleuder, die super durchdacht ist und mit der ich sehr zufrieden bin. Die Presse ist prima verarbeitet, stabil, leicht zu reinigen und macht was sie soll. Kekse sind schon fast zu perfekt und sehen eigentlich nicht mehr aus wie selbst gebacken. Der Teig darf allerdings nicht zu fest sein. Nachdem die erste "Rutsche" im Ofen war habe ich den restlichen Teig nach draußen gestellt, weil ich dachte, er könnte etwas fester sein. Das war dann aber nicht die beste Idee, weil sich die Plätzchen nicht mehr so gut gelöst haben - aber da kann die Presse ja nichts für. Bin froh, mich für dieses Produkt entschieden zu haben und empfehle es gerne weiter.
