Spritz Cookie Recipes
First, you’ll need to get your dough in order. Spritz cookies work wonderfully in the cookie press because of their smooth texture. See some favorite recipes below, including a classic cream cheese spritz, chocolate shortbread, butter and gingerbread spritz cookie recipes.
Use these cookie press tips for fool-proof spritz cookies.
1. Put your metal cookie sheets in the freezer before pressing. This helps to keep the dough chilled and keep its shape as you’re moving along.
2. Once your dough is ready, it’s time to load the press. Remove the bottom ring of the Cookie Press from the barrel.
3. Insert desired cookie disk into the bottom ring and reattach to the barrel.
4. Press and hold button on front of Cookie Press and pull plunger up completely.
5. Twist to remove top of Cookie Press from barrel.
6. Using a jar spatula, load cookie dough into the barrel and twist to reattach top of Cookie Press.
7. Prime the Cookie Press by pumping the level until dough is being pressed out of the disk evenly. Wipe off excess dough and start pressing onto the cold cookie sheet.
8. Moving in a line across the cookie sheet, press out the cookies about an inch apart. The cookies won’t expand much while baking so don’t be afraid to load up the sheets. We bake 30 on a tray.
9. Once they’ve baked, let them cool for a minute or two on the sheet and then use a spatula to move them to a cooling rack. They should firm up quickly and will be ready to be enjoyed (or packaged up for gifts!).

Have Even More Fun With The OXO Cookie Press and Make Multi-Colored Spritz Cookies!
There are two methods we use for creating multi-colored spritz cookies in the cookie press. One is for creating cookies that have two or three colors, but the colors don’t mix. The second method mixes two or three colors, creating more of a tie dye effect. For both cookies, we recommend using the Cream Cheese Spritz Cookie recipe.
Multi-Colored Cookies
After you’ve made the dough, divide it into three bowls and dye each one using a different color. We use gel dye for the best results.
Roll each color into long snakes.
Press the two or three colored snakes together and form them into one log. This should be slightly smaller in diameter as the cookie press barrel.
Set up the cookie press by removing the bottom ring of the Cookie Press from the barrel. Insert desired cookie disk into the bottom ring and reattach to the barrel. Press and hold button on front of Cookie Press and pull plunger up completely. Twist to remove top of Cookie Press from barrel.
Put the log into the barrel, working to keep the colors from mushing together.
Once in the barrel, twist to reattach top of cookie press.
Prime the Cookie Press by pumping the level until dough is being pressed out of the disk evenly. Wipe off excess dough and start pressing onto a cold cookie sheet.
Moving in a line across the cookie sheet, press out the cookies about an inch apart. The cookies don’t expand much while baking so don’t be afraid to load up the sheets. We bake 30 on a tray.
Once they’ve baked, let them cool for a minute or two on the sheet and then use a spatula to move them to a cooling rack. They should firm up quickly and will be ready to be enjoyed.
