Yes the cookies do come out thick sometimes when you put less cookie doh it doesn't forms the Christmas shapes well enough. I also have this same problem but it's a belly full

I use a very thin amount of dough I buy 24 count premade dough and cut in half ( 48 total cookies ) perfect thickness and I only cook 6 minutes and they are perfect .

Yes, I didn't like it. I actually used it for corn bread muffins for my grandchildren.

Well, my sister is the one that bakes. She makes her cakes in a regular house oven and they are perfect. But she also uses some ingredients and other methods with this pans that she won't share. Sorry if it wasnt much help.

In my opinion, they are a bit too deep for cookies. Of course you could just put less dough in them. The cookies nay have ridges at the edges. Hope this helps.

I put my batter in right away. Is cake batter that much thicker than cupcake? I didn't know there was that much difference....maybe I'm not enough of a cook to ask :)

Try a recipe with more flour to make a firmer dough. Don't just add flour to your existing recipe or you will have a tough cookie. Or... Trouble shoot the recipe you are using by carefully measuring all of your ingrediants. Baking is a very exact science so a tbls. too much of liquid or flour can change your results. Eggs used should be grade a large, extra large or medium will throw your recipe off as well. I hope this helps . Happy cookie baking to you,

It really all depends on how thick you make it. I was just outlining my cookies and ran out.

I have refrigerated my dough but before using have let it set at room temp for about 10 min. in needs to be somewhat soft so that when you put in cookie press it will squish down and together better. it would take it cold I think as it seems strong.

You mean like "chunky" cookie dough, for like oatmeal cookies? Or do you mean pizza dough? B/c I haven't tried it with the latter but it fared pretty well w/ cookie dough -- the only thing you need to keep in mind is that it IS only 4 cups, so it would probably only hold about 2 1/2 cups flour & 1 stick of butter in order to have space to chunk it up :)

More like a waffle maker, although I'd say the dough was closer to the consistency of cookie dough than waffle batter. But no need to roll out the dough & then cut--just scoop it into the forms & let it expand to fill the space.

Hi the pizzels I make on this machine are thin light and airy the trick is to lock Handel's together they come out thin as paper so to speak. If you want them thicker don't lock Handel .love the finish on here its easy to clean and one shot of kitchen spray does the whole batch of cookies.D hope this helps

Cut it a bit shorter than usual and use slightly stiffer dough. Use lots of semolina as you cut it.

OK, I just use the term dough. I try not to put too much in the press. I think the dough settles better if not too full, so I usually fill 1/2. From the 1/2 full press, I probably get 18 cookies. It usually takes two fillings for each cookie sheet. I am really most interested in how they look. Appearance is everything with them. Though my hubby gobbles them up so fast, he doesn't care a hoot about how they look. And usually I have three colors of dough that I wrap together as it goes into the tube.

I would give it a go. I've mostly used it in grain free baking. It's a tad softer than regular shortening. I often measure the amount I want and refrigerate or freeze it before I use it. Cookies can usually handle a pretty soft butter or shortening, though, so I wouldn't worry about that unless you run into problems. If the dough is too sticky to work with, refrigerate it for a while before trying to work with it again or add a little more flour. The next time you make the recipe cut back on the Palm oil instead.

I have done neither but I do not think it would be strong enough for cookie dough. Cake mix, seems like you would be getting into more clean up than with a bowl and spatula.

I've made a couple of batches of chocolate chip cookies and it did very well. Yeast biscuits provided no problem with it. The only time it bogged down was when I was making fondant.

Do you mean "scrape" out the dough? Once in a while I've had the dough stick a little, but not to the point of becoming troublesome or annoying. I did see this mentioned by another reviewer before I purchased. So far I've only used the scoop for cookie making but I must say I love it. I've found my family loves the small size cookies best.

I would do like Alice Hager said, make sure that the cookie press is screwed tightly together, the dough is at room temperature. Use the recipe included with the press, I did and it made cookie very easily.
