Helpful Hints Cookie Shapes

•We do not recommend using store-bought refrigerated cookie doughs.

•Avoid greased or nonstick cookie sheets, as they will not hold the shape of the cookie as well.

•When a recipe calls for butter and margarine, both must be used. Do not substitute one with the other.

•Dough should be pliable enough to easily emerge from the Disc and stick on the cookie sheet.

•If dough is too soft or sticky, refrigerate for 15 minutes, or beat in a small amount of flour. If the dough is too stiff, mix in the yolk of one egg.

•Once dough has been loaded, use it immediately.

•Cookie dough that has been refrigerated overnight will be too stiff and will not work properly.

•Some doughs and Discs work better when you move faster, and some when you move slower. After some practice with rhythm and timing, the shapes will improve.

•Use Discs with cookie dough for the preparation of cookies.

•Use Pastry Tips with soft dough for decorating canapes, candies, cookies, desserts, pastry fillings, etc.

•If dough is not moist enough to hold the decorations, lightly brush a little water, milk, honey or a little egg white where decorations are to be placed.

•The amount of cookies per batch will vary with each recipe, the Cookie Disc used, and the thickness of the cookies.

Choose from any one of the Cookie Discs below to make beautiful bakery-style cookies.
