Helpful Hints
• 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.
