Are there cookie type (i.e. sugar) recommendations on the box? Could I use store-bought ready-made sugar cookie dough to make these?

It does say you can use with any sugar cookie recipe but there is a website on the box for recipes and ideas.

Hi! There aren't any recipes printed on the box, but there are several different roll-out cookie recipes available on their website: fredandfriends.com/blog/cookies I'm not sure if store-bought sugar cookies would work well or not -- try it and see! :) I usually make my doughs from scratch using recipes from Wilton, Joy of Cooking, etc. Hope this helps.

I agree with Rebecca. I always use other recipes as there are none provided.

The ones I bought were not sugar free, but they sure were delicious! That being said, there may also be a sugar-free version.

Hi Karen, Perhaps your dough is not soft enough. The recipe calls for room temperature butter which means the butter should be soft. Too much flour can make your dough stiff so it's important to sift the flour and then measure it. After you mix all the ingredients, the cookie dough should be pliable enough so you can take some of the dough and roll it in your hands to achieve a small tube like formation to put in the cookie press. Continue doing that until the press is filled. Usually 2 small tubes will fill it. Make sure the cookie press is assembled tightly.Good luck.

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 .

I used a regular cake mix. no problem. baking time will take some adjustment.

For cake I've only used the recipes that come with the maker because I heard the store-bought mixes don't turn out as well. For brownies, though, I did use a store-bought mix and they were fine.

I have found that they bake very evenly. I use parchment paper, so I don't know if my results would be different if placed directly on the cookie sheet. I do not let it preheat. I have had grand results and I use them all the time.

The ingredients are, in order, brown rice flour, sweet rice flour, tapioca starch, cornstarch, potato starch, and xanthan gum. Their description is "superfine" flours. I think that and the starches make it better than the previous flours I've tried. I made cookies today and they didn't crumble and fall apart as I was taking them off the cookie sheet, I was happy about that. Next I'll try baking a cake. I have a terrible sweet tooth...

There are directions on the back of the box for making by hand and baking in the oven as well as bread machine directions. They seem to be simple to follow.

I do not know how is that you are doing it. It had worked perfectly for me although these products are not made for "heavy" dough. You have to open the bottom part (where the cookie discs are) and put there the disc that you want to use and close it back again.

Yes, cookies really stick to the cookie sheet and don't bake evenly. You will definitely need parchment or something.

I would not bake them. I have not tried, as would be afraid they would melt. I've added them to sugar cookies after they are baked and still warm and they held shape and luster. They are beautiful on frosted cupcakes.

Dear Betty, Yes, you can use ANY cookie, cake or brownie mixes. We make up a big batch in one day, freeze the cookies mixes in meatball sizes- double wrap, bag and freeze so the kids can bake any time they want with the mixes already made. I take out a meatball size frozen cookie dough the night before from the freezer and put it in the refrigerator. When the kids get home from school, the dough is ready to make into dime size cookies and bake. One day of making the dough and freezing, makes for many, many fun times baking for a few cents every time! I wrote about this in my review. Any mix, bag or home made dough can be frozen into balls for future baking any time! Maren

Dear: We really love the Pepperidge Farms Chessmen cookies. They have always been exactly what they say they are. They are extremely great tasting, I but them all the time in large case size packages. Good luck. Ed

I am not sure about sugar cookies, but I can tell you my biscotti come out EXACTLY the same way as when I bake them with regular flour. I would not hesitate to use it for any gluten-free baking.
