Hi! all, Would anyone have a good recipe for a Cookie Press?? I am making cookies for a bake sale,,,,,and would like to have a recipe in order to make a large quantity of cookies. Thanks for your help.. Sandy
To make them press out easier, just add a small quantity of eggwhite,=20 say 50 g or so. It is a very versatile cookie dough and won't rip when rolling out.
Sandy, here are two recipes from my cookie press recipe book. I make both of these every year at Christmas, and they go over very well.

QUICK-MIX SPRITZ
Time: 10-12 minutes Temp: 375°F Yield: 5-6 dozen
2 1/4 cups sifted all-purpose flour
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup butter
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
Sift flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder together in a bowl.
With a pastry blender or two knives cut the butter into the dry ingredients until mixture is full of very fine lumps. It will resemble pie crust or biscuit mix, although not as coarse.
Measure egg in a measuring cup. A large egg will measure 1/4 cup. If it does not, add water to the 1/4 cup line.
Add the egg and vanilla and beat the mixture very well.
Fill cookie press. Form cookies on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake.
Remove at once to cooling racks.
CHRISTMAS TREES
Time: 10-12 minutes Temp: 375°F Yield: 6-7 dozen
1 cup butter
3/4 cup sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon almond extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 1/4 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder Green food coloring
Cream butter and sugar well. Beat in egg and almond extract.
Gradually blend in dry ingredients which have been sifted together and tint dough with a few drops of green food coloring. Mix well.
Fill cookie press. Form cookies on ungreased cookie sheets, using tree plate (usually included in a cookie press set).
