Giveaway Closed: Congratulations, Donna!
If you read enough of my blog, you know that I don’t claim to cook much/well. In fact, I was a bit intimidated when I had to pull my mixer off the top shelf and remove the layer of dust. Okay, so I don’t use it much. I am not very familiar with kitchen tools, but I sure do appreciate them – perhaps more for the look and less for the use. That is why The Pampered Chef completely surprised me!
So when I received the opportunity to review the NEW Cookie Press from The Pampered Chef I was bit nervous. In fact, my idea for Santa’s cookies includes break-and-bake cookies. So here I was, dusty mixer and cookie press contraption in hand – how was I ever going to give this tool a try and prove to my readers I can make adorable little cookies? Will you believe me if I say I thought about running out to the store and buying a box, unwrapping the cookies, placing them in a plate and telling you I made them?
Since I am pretty good at step-by-step directions the recipe was easy-peasy. The next step was to put the dough into the press and create these adorable little Christmas trees. I read the directions and thought they must be wrong. At the beginning, I actually strayed from the directions because I though surely they didn’t know what they were talking about. Thus Christmas Tree cookies were looking like mashed up layers of cookie dough. I then followed the steps and realized making the adorable cookies were not so hard after all! They were as easy at 1-2-3. NO JOKE! Put your cookie disk in (you can choose among 8 different disks), place the dough in, lay the press flat on the tray, make a 1/3 turn, lift and whola – a perfect Christmas Tree cookie. I promise – that easy.
New Cookie Press (Retail Value $29.50)
– Rotating press dispenses dough with a simple twist of the knob.
– Clear barrrel allows you to see how much dough is in the barrel.

I am excited to let one lucky reader try The Pampered Chef Cookie Press for him/herself. These cookies are easy, will make a great family afternoon/evening in the kitchen, and will be the perfect treat for Santa (he might actually find himself eating the WHOLE plate.)
