Cuisinart CCP-10 Electric Cookie Press with 12 Discs and 8 Decorating Tips, White

I bought Cuisinart's cookie press as kind of an experiment just to see if it would work. My mom has an old electric cookie press that she's had for years, and we've spent the last couple of Christmases worrying that it would break right in the middle of shooting out the cookies (though it still seems to work). Since I'd never before used a press like this myself and had read several negative reviews of Cuisinart's version, I had pretty low expectations. But I had no trouble at all! My mom had given me a few tips (use the recipe they give you in the instruction manual since it's formulated to work in the press and use the dough immediately--no freezing or refrigerating before using), and it was probably my easiest holiday baking project. I've been watching my mom do this for years so I had a pretty good sense of the rhythm with which you press the gun to the cookie sheet, and I wondered whether some of the reviewers who had trouble with the machine just weren't able to get that down? Some of the stencils they give you were better than others, but all in all it was incredibly easy to use, the cookies were delicious, and now we don't have to worry about the old one breaking down.

I thought I was ordering a new one for $187 but a very old and overly used one arrived. Terrible waste of time and money!!I didn't even open the box to look at machine because the box itself was visually dirty with dough, food debris, and stains and bhad to be taped together to maintain its shape. It took a long time to be shipped here too. Ridiculous!!!Disgusting so I never even looked inside at the machine. This state of "used" should never be considered saleable, unless it's at a garage sale.No where near worth the money nor wasted time waiting for it.

After wearing out an electric cookie gun I used for 15 years, discovered it would cost ~$155 to replace it. With an Amazon gift card to pick up most of the tab, thought that this Cuisinart might be worth the gamble of buying on-line. What a brilliant decision. It came to the home promptly with little damage to the box and well packed. Used it on a 5 hour spritz cookie baking marathon, made 45 doz., without issue. Other guns had a "screw" that you had to pack the dough around, this one you pack easily into the tube. The disks include all the old favorites designs and some new ones that will become favorites. I'm very happy with this make and model, it is a keeper.

I ordered this with high expectations since I've used only manual cookie presses. This was electronic and Cuisinart so I thought it would work as expected.I didn't open it to use until Christmas Eve and I was very upset to see that it did not perform well. Not only did it not perform well, it developed a loud click and each cookie took 40 sec's to get out of the cookie press to the cookie sheet. I followed all instructions in the manual and found this to be a horrible cookie press. Not sure that I can return it since I ordered this very early to be ready for Christmas, but will be trying to return.

After reading all the reviews, I had it shipped as a gift for Christmas. My friend is an excellent and experienced cook. She invited me over, and we used it for the first time together. I can hardly wait to borrow it. The most important thing is obviously to use the recipes that come with it - they're GREAT, and the press works just like it's supposed to We made snickerdoodles and cintrus cookies, about 8 dozen of each, and they looked and tasted great. Just follow the assembly instructions carefully, and use the recipes that come with it.

I love my old cookie presses that finally died on me, but I was excited to get a cuisinart electric cookie press. My whole kitchen is furnished in cuisinart small appliances so I just knew this would be awesome. Well, it wasn't. There is simply not enough power in the cookie press, so you have to make your dough softer and not fill the container. So your cookies don't retain their shapes very well and it takes you twice as long as necessary to complete your baking. I would have returned it if I hadn't wanted to make the cookies when it arrived. I guess even Cuisinart can have a lemon.

Received tis product promptly (earlier than promised) and after a couple of tries, I learned how to use this most effectively. It works very well, my cookies turned out better that the ones I did with my old press. I followed the instructions as to how the batter should be room temperature, not too cold and not too warm and the patterns were beautiful. I only gave a four star rating because I would like to see a cookie press like this one with batteries so the cord would not have to be contended with when i am using the press. It makes for a more contained area and I like more space. Overall I give it five stars for performance and the four stars for ease of use.

I received my cookie press and used it the next day to make spritz cookies. It worked great, but I have used an electric cookie press before, so I knew what to expect. It took a little bit of trial to get the tube on and locked, but once I figured that out, it was a breeze. I would recommend this item to anyone who bakes cookies a lot. It takes practice when you first start using one, but once you get the hang of it, you will love it.
