I was looking for a cookie press to replace my old Pillsbury press that got a crack up the side. First, I tried the decorating tips. That was a no-go. It came out way to fast to form the pattern on my cake. When my grandkids came for Easter, we mixed up some sugar cookie dough, and they were so excited to make the shapes. I filled the tube, clicked the trigger til the dough got to the end, then tried to dispense a cookie. The dough came out through the patterned circle, but did not let go of the form as we pressed it on the cookie sheet. We tried over & over. Tried numerous patterns, and not one cookie would come out and detach from the dispenser. We were all very disappointed. It is the same cookie recipe that I used in my Pillsbury press, so I know it wasn't the dough. Not worth the price, and I don't know what to do with it, cause returns cost money, so you can't get a full refund. =-(
