I have found an older cookie press and it has no recipes with it and was wondering if anyone here has a really good recipe for a cookie press. Thanks

The first recipe is very good and perfect for the holidays. The second is a great recipe because it is so versatile. You can use lime or orange zest/juice instead of the lemon, or you leave out both the zest and juice and substitute 1 ts of your favorite extract. Almond, butterscotch, peppermint - these all make great cookies!

1 cup butter
2 cups icing sugar
4 cups flour
I colour the individual batches and make several of these. We do trees, snowflakes and other cool shapes. I love my press. I will find the recipe for the chocolate ones too and post it.

Alix, how long and at what temp do you bake these cookies? I have a cookie press. Used for first time and cookies weren't as soft and buttery as I'd like. Want to try your recipe. Thx!
Sorry I didn't see this sooner, I bake at 350 and for a short time, just til the edges get a bit golden. Um...8-10 minutes maybe? Depends on your oven. Watch the first batch and time it from there. They are on our "to do" list for Christmas.
