Hints
• We do not recommend using store-bought refrigerated
cookie doughs.
• Avoid greased or non-stick 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 Tips with soft dough for decorating canapes, candies,
cookies, desserts, fill pastries, 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.
• When using a recipe that calls for finely grated ingredients, use
a Cookie Disc with large holes. We recommend using Cookie
Discs 3, 4, 5, and 10 to prevent the Disc from becoming
clogged with cookie dough.
