Would this work with cookie dough? I wanted to get this to control portions with our deserts. I still like having cookies, so will this work with cookie dough?

I don't know why it wouldn't. You can use brownie mix so you might want to experiment a little with the consistency of the cookie batter. We made pancakes for the grandchildren with it. I made cake pops for a church supper and they were a big hit. There are a couple of books written for babycakes cake pop maker that contain all kinds of recipes. I have not had any trouble getting them to rise all the way to the top. I posted a couple of pics of my cake pops.

With just a little practice, you can make less than 2 inch cookies with this scoop- try leveling the scoop with the top of the mixing bowl as you withdraw the scoop. I use a rather heavy batter and make considerably larger cookies most of the time,with a rounded scoop full- good luck! JBH

These scoops are very good at releasing the cookie dough. I'm sure it may depend on how sticky the dough is, but for cookies such as chocolate chip, snickerdoodles, oatmeal raisin, gingersnaps, peanut butter blossoms and even dropping no bakes it did very well! I had no problems with it.

I think it would work fine for one of the thinner batters, such as for making funnel cake. The times I've made donuts, they were more of a dough that you roll out and cut. I think it would take a special device to drop out donut dough.

I haven't tried to do this; however, the user manual (I think--something I was reading) did make reference to making phyllo dough. when it is on the thinnest setting, it is pretty much paper thin. I would think that any dough that is dry enough would work. I wouldn't try anything that might be sticky because, not only will it probably not go through, it will be a pain to clean. I guess it depends on what kind of cookie you're thinking of trying.

This should work fine, as long as you don't pause between the clicks and let the dough break. It helps if you tilt the press so the dough is coming out parallel to the cookie sheet.

I have no idea, but I'd think that if the cookie was easily cracked, or smashed, and you don't due large amounts each time that it might work. Good luck.

Don't roll out the dough, just pinch off enough to fill each cavity and press down. I make an organic dough from trial and error....works great and the treat portions are perfect.

I haven't tried it but I think it should work since the cookie dough seems very similar to regular cookie dough.

The scoop I have holds just slightly more than one tablespoon. I have had no trouble scooping cookie dough with it, so I would think a three tablespoon scoop would work with solidified coconut oil.

I haven't tried it myself yet (only smoothies and baking so far) but I think it would work with strong-flavored soups with a creamy base (to cover up the texture. I would whisk it in to some milk or broth first, too, to avoid clumps.

Unfortunately, I haven't tried it for anything but ice cream yet, so can't give a good answer. I would think you'd need a second spoon to scrape the dough off the ice cream scoop, as it had no "releaser", but otherwise it would work just the same as a tablespoon, or whatever tool you used to use.

I have used it only as a pastry mat to roll out cookie dough. I personally did not like it and won't use it again. The dough stuck like glue. Maybe I am doing something wrong.

I haven't used it for something like that, although I don't know why you couldn't. I've mainly used mine for pie crust and biscuits. I love it. Give it a try for you red velvet or pumpkin cake roll. I think it would probably work pretty good. Good luck.

I haven't used it in an actual cookie......but I do use it for an Italian version of a linzer torte....I've made it with and without this product and let me just tell you what a difference it made! Really made it light. Depending on the type of cookie you're making, this should make it light as a feather ;)

The only cookie recipe I made with the Rikon Cookie Press was spritz. It worked fine. I made sure everything was screwed on tight. The dough was at room temperature.

Whoa...may be the mixer head connecter insertion. Have you made "adjustments" for the height with the tool? Might be some of the problem, too. Mine seems to be somewhat loose at insertion with any of the beater attachments, which made me leery at the beginning; but it whips up double cookie batches with no problem. I make Divinity with it and whips it up great without any over-heat. I never tried it for bread dough, as I like to knead bread myself. I would call the 800 customer service number and talk to them about it, but first try your adjustment tool. Sorry you having problems with it...maybe I need to whip up a batch of French Bread to see how mine does...big snow storm here and roads are un-drivable in Champaign County in IL...so might just get it out and make some bread! :o) Let me know if the adjusting tool helped.
