So, look what I just found, hidden away in my basement storage area: a Salton Cookie Press, brand new in the package. The manual is dated 2002, and I have absolutely no recollection of ever buying this, or receiving it as a gift. And yet, here it is!
It just so happens I was baking Christmas cookies today, so the timing of this discovery was certainly serendipitous.
Following the recipe in the manual, I made a batch of Holiday Butter Cookie dough, and made cookies in two shapes: trees and hearts.
Not gonna lie--this thing is not as easy to use as you'd think. The dough has to be just the right consistency, not too cold and stiff, not too warm and sticky. I had a few "fails", but ended up with about two dozen cookie so far that look pretty good. Looking forward to experimenting with this new contraption and making some more cookies tomorrow!
