I have a Nordic Ware, bought before Christmas. Here's an Amazon link to
it (though I bought it locally at the Nordic Ware factory):

I am convinced that the problems are with the cookie dough more than
with the press. I'm liking it--no liturgical language was used in the
making of this batch of cookies from an old Betty Crocker recipe.

Here's a link to the ones I made earlier in the week:

I had to go look at the model number of mine and it's a k45SS. And I
found a repair shop that is specifically linked to the KA web site.
I've been there before. They ordered me a whole bunch of tiny parts for
my new espresso machine that I accidentally threw in the trash with the
box. Now THAT was maddening. :| But the store came through.

I love, Love, LOVE my Betty Crocker cookbook from the 50's!! Hands
down the best baking source I have. From Anadama bread to the best
chocolate chip cookies to terrifc cakes, it's my go-to book for all
things baking.

A favorite of mine, too. It is where I got my sour cream coffee cake,
my sugar and peanut butter cookies, even my deluxe creamed onions, and
a whole bunch more of family favorites.

How cute! Did you find them in a stationary store?

I bought a plastic tub/tube of them somewhere -- too bad I can't
remember where! LOL! I think there were at least 30 in the lot, from
wee tiny to some 1/4" diameter and 18-20" long.

I've had the Mirror, but not the Nordic Ware. I used a Kuhn Rikon at
Christmas, which got through eggsackly 2 batches of spritz cookies
(the below model is not exact, but close enough as makes no
difference) before it turned into a wrestling match:

and Williams-Sonoma's (which they evidently don't sell anymore and was
entirely plastic) and they all fail after too damned little use. And
it is tooth-grindingly maddening to have 3/4 of a batch of dough
remaining and fight the press every inch of the way, pressing out 4 or
5 misshapen cookies for every 1 that is respectable.

To Boron: how many batches of spritz cookies or the like have you
gotten out of the Marcato? I'd really love to get a reliable cookie
press, as spritz cookies are a year around favorite with my family.

Double batch of your recipe made weekend before last. I cannot vouch
for any longevity of the unit, as that was its maiden voyage, but it
appears quite well made and worked flawlessly.

Now the story continues, though...never a person to have one of
something when two can do, I also have a Kuhn-Rikon, still in its box.
It, too, was purchased from the last days of Martha Stewart's online
store, as was the Marcato. I bought two because the kids used to make
all the cookies at the holidays, and I hated the rows. Somehow, they
never got around to spritz, and neither did I until a week or so ago.

Next time I make spritz, I am going to try the K-R gun.

And I am wondering where or where my old Mirro must have gotten to. It
could very well be in a box in the basement. Not being able to find it
is what encouraged me to take advantage of MS's fire sale. There were
a lot of great bargains there at the end.

Hey, check your Facebook stuff...there is a request to friend me there
under my real name. It was sent ages ago.

That's the one I hated the most. Barely made it through 2 batches of
cookies. Lots of press molds, though, which I hope I can cannibalize
for use on the next press.

I don't see it now and might have missed it earlier. Give it another
shot.

Pretty much the same recipe, but I tweak the flavorings from time to
time. Cinnamon, orange, almond, etc. I've tried to incorporate ground
nuts just as an experiment, but it makes the dough too dense. The
original recipe is plenty good on its own and plenty simple. At
Christmas, I make a bunch of the flower shaped cookies, sticking 1/2 a
green or red candied cherry or chocolate morsel in the center for
pretty. Ditto Easter with pastel colored jelly beans or non-pareils. I
bake 'em right into the cookie.
