To save time, buy premade cookie dough that comes in a log shape. Avoid using cookie dough that has big pieces like chocolate chips or nuts in it. Use thin doughs like sugar cookie dough and spritz dough instead.
Don’t line the baking sheet with anything or the dough won’t stick.
If your cookie press doesn’t have a handle or lever to pump, press down on the plunger instead.
If the dough didn’t come out of the barrel, or if it looks broken on the pan, the dough may be too cold. Let the cookie press sit at room temperature for a few minutes and then try again.
