Hi, I was just wondering if it is dishwasher safe?
Are there any additional discs available besides the Christmas set? I have an idea for cookie press discs. Yes, I think it’s a good idea too!
Are the cookies supposed to be so small???? Live the press, but the cookies were the size of a quarter.
Like some others who have commented, I would love to see spare tubes offered for sale. That way I could load all the tubes at the same time to keep from having to stop in the middle of the process to refill the tube and it would also be great for using different colored dough. I also have had difficulty getting the pressed dough to hold the details when it is baked. I used the recipe that came with the press, have chilled the baking pans, and even chilled the pressed dough on the pan before baking in hopes that the cookies would not spread and lose the detail of the design. I don’t know what else to get sharp designs!
The dough does not come out of the press to form a design. It is a blob of dough. I’ve tried placing the dough in the refrigerator but not luck.
I got a brand new oxo cookie press and the dough seems to be sticking to every single disc I try…what could the prob be….I used 3 cups flour, 1 cup butter, 3/4th cup sugar and 1 egg
Please consider selling extra tubes. It’s very time consuming cleaning the tube when making different color batches of cookies, especially at Christmas time using red, green and white. Thank you!
Can you use a cookie dough for cut outs in in a cookie press? I just prefer soft cookies over crisp ones.
Can I replace sugar with stevia? Thanx
How can I use the cookie press to make cheese straws?
I enjoy the press; however many years ago I made the cookies with a spice that I forgot what it was named. It gave the appearance of small specks of dark spot but added an amazing flavor. does anyone know what that spice might be> Thank you
Used once, but could not unscrew the plunger end in order to clean.
Using it for the first time. Dough does not come off the disc unless I scrape with a knife, which destroys the shape.
I really like this cookie press and it makes wonderful spritz cookies. But I would love to use the press for my cheese straws. Is there a disk or star attachment that can be purchased to use for cheese straws?
I agreel that it is impossible to clean the dough that gets into the top of the press. I called customer service and they said that the part that has the handle unscrew from the part with the button. It does not unscrew.
I love this press! However all of the discs work except for the Butterfly. I used all of them at the same time so the only variable was tge disc itself. Help?
I purchased the oxo cookie press for my daughter this christmas and we can not get the cookies to stick to the pan. It has been very frustrating for us. Do you have any suggestions?
Recently bought this cookie press and made my cream cheese spritz cookies. I loved how easy it was to use. I would highly recommend this product. I wonder if you can purchase replacement disks and additional tubes?
Have loved my OXO press but this time the handle broke it two. Same recipe every time, the cream cheese one that comes with the press. Mm aged to finish my cookies, but this was very disappointing.
Just used mine for the first time today. I love it!! I would like to get additional discs for different holidays. I had myMom’s cookie press for many years but this is so much easier. Please let me know if the discs are avail
While the new cookie press I just used for the first time makes nice cookies, it is not easy to clean. The dough squeezes up above the plunger and gets into tiny slots in the top part of the device. I was a bit disappointed that the plunger doesn’t seal better, allowing the dough to squeeze above it and I don’t feel it is possible to get it throroughly clean. Is there a way to take the plunger apart to clean it?
Love, love, love the cookie press. Spritz are my “go to” Christmas cookie. I’ve tried several brands of Cookie presses over the years, but the Oxo press beats them all. Easy squeeze and one click does it. Cookies come out cleanly every time. Only improvement would be to make it hold a little more dough with refilling so often.
