4. Setup and Assembly

1. Disassemble: Unscrew the bottom ring and remove the plunger rod from the cookie press barrel.
2. Prepare Dough: Ensure your cookie dough is at room temperature and soft. The press works best with soft butter dough within 20k–40k cP viscosity. Hard dough will not press effectively and may damage the unit.
3. Load Dough: Fill the barrel of the cookie press with your prepared dough.
4. Attach Disc/Tip:
   • For cookies: Select one of the 13 cookie discs and place it into the bottom ring.
   • For frosting: Select one of the 8 frosting tips and insert it into the bottom ring.
5. Secure Bottom Ring: Screw the bottom ring, with the chosen disc or tip, securely onto the barrel of the cookie press.
6. Insert Plunger: Reinsert the plunger rod into the top of the barrel and ensure it is properly seated.

5. Operating Instructions

1. Priming the Press: Before first use or after loading new dough, press the lever a few times until the dough starts to emerge from the disc or tip.
2. Making Cookies:
   • Place the cookie press directly onto an ungreased baking sheet.
   • Press the lever firmly and evenly once to dispense a single cookie shape.
   • Lift the press straight up. Repeat for desired number of cookies, spacing them appropriately on the baking sheet.
3. Decorating with Frosting:
   • Hold the press at the desired angle over your baked goods.
   • Gently press the lever to dispense frosting, guiding the press to create your desired design.
