SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
POLARIZED PLUG
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this polarized (one prong larger than the other) plug will fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If it does not fit correctly into the outlet, reverse the plug. If the plug still does not fit, consult a professional electrician. Modifying the plug in any way will defeat this safety feature and increase the risk of injury.
SHORT POWER CORD
To reduce the hazards resulting from a longer cord, a short power-supply cord is supplied. If desired, use an extension cord and make sure the marked electrical rating is at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. The extension cord should not hang over the counter or tabletop where it could be tripped over or pulled on.
Before First Time Use:
1.Unpack the cookie press and all accessories with care.
2.Wash cookie discs, pastry tips, pastry tip adapter, tube cover, pastry tip cover, tube, shaft adapter, press disc and shaft with warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry completely.
3.Wipe all surfaces of the motor body with a slightly moistened, soft cloth and dry thoroughly. MAKE SURE THE UNIT IS UNPLUGGED.
4.Never immerse the motor body, plug or cord in water or any other liquid, and do not use steel wool, scouring pads or abrasive cleansers as they will damage the finish.
5.Dry all parts completely to ensure that no water enters the motor body.

Instructions for Making Cookies
The proper consistency of cookie dough is critical. If it is too stiff, the dough will not release from the cookie press. If it is too soft or sticky, the cookies will not retain their shape. It is best to use the recipes in this booklet until you get a feel for the optimum consistency of the dough. Store-bought refrigerated cookie doughs are not recommended for use in this cookie press. Neither is chilling homemade dough. Practice, practice, practice. That is what it takes to achieve perfect cookies.
It is well worth it, for you will have beautiful cookies in the fraction of the time it would take to roll and cut out cookie dough.

1.Once you have your Cuisinart® Electric Cookie Press assembled, fill with dough to the MAX fill line.
2.Plug the filled cookie press (BPA-Free) into a standard 120V AC outlet.
3.Stand the cookie press in the upright position with the tube cover resting on an unlined/ ungreased baking sheet. Before pressing your first cookie, all of the air pockets must be pressed out of the dough. To do so, hold down the On/Off button until the dough just starts to be pressed out of the disc.
4.To form a cookie, hold the button down for 1 to 2 seconds, depending on the type of dough you prepared or the disc you are using. After
pressing for 1 to 2 seconds, gently lift the cookie press from the pan and then repeat to press your next cookie, and so on. You should always have the tube cover resting on the cookie sheet when pressing cookies. Failing to do so will prevent the cookies from forming properly.
efilling the Cookie Press
Most recipes provided require the user to refill the cookie press at least once. Depending on the size of the cookie that you are pressing, you can usually get
to 40 cookies per fill.
1. In order to refill the press, remove the tube from the motor body, press the shaft to disengage, and reassemble as instructed on page 2.
2. Refill with dough to MAX fill line. Again, press all air pockets out of the dough by holding down the On/Off button, and then press your next batch of cookies.
NOTE: if you wish to use a different type of dough or dough has built up in the shaft adapter, it may be necessary to take apart and clean the entire cookie press before refilling. Always clean and reassemble your cookie press as directed in this manual, and be
sure to adhere to food safety guidelines.

Helpful Hints
•Using store-bought refrigerated dough is not recommended.
•Never grease or line your cookie sheets when using the cookie press. If you do, your cookie dough will not stick to the pan, therefore preventing the cookies from maintaining a consistent shape.
•Consistency of the cookie dough is very important. If it is too stiff or dry, it will not be able to be pressed out. You want the dough to be slightly sticky so it will adhere to the pan. If dough is too soft, the cookies will not hold their shape. This will definitely take some practice, but use our recipes as a guide when making your own dough.
•We do not recommend chilling the dough, for it will be too difficult to press. Always use the dough immediately after making. This will yield the best results.
•Cookie doughs must be smooth in texture. If you are flavoring with nuts, be sure that they are very finely ground. This will prevent the cookie press from being clogged.
•The dough should be pliable enough to come out of the disc easily and keep its shape on the cookie sheet.
•If dough is too sticky or soft, refrigerate it for 15 minutes.
Another option is to beat a small amount of flour into the dough.
•If the dough is too stiff, mix in a little beaten egg.
•Once dough has been placed into the unit, use it immediately.
•You will find your shapes improving as you become accustomed to the rhythm and timing that works best for each cookie type.
•To make cookies, use discs with cookie dough.
•To decorate candies, cookies, and desserts or to insert pastry or hors d’oeuvres fillings, etc, use pastry tips.
•If the dough is not moist enough to hold decorations, lightly brush a small amount of water, milk or honey where you wish to place the decorations.
•Depending on the recipe, the cookie disc used, and the size of the cookies desired, the amount of cookies yielded will vary.
•The Cuisinart® Electric Cookie Press comes with 12 cookie discs to make many different shaped cookies with the same dough.
•Some doughs, ones that are thicker or stickier, tend to fare better with the discs that have larger openings, such as discs 3, 5, 6 and 10.
•Doughs that are not smooth in consistency, such as the Cheese
Crackers on page 12 in the recipe booklet, require the same discs with larger openings.

Pastry Tip Shapes
The Cuisinart® Electric Cookie Press also serves as an electric piping tool. It comes with 8 different pastry tips to suit all of your decorating and piping needs. From cakes and cookies to filling cream puffs, and from topping savory hors d’oeuvres to filling deviled eggs, there is a tip for everything.
The consistency of what you are to pipe is very important.
In most cases, frostings will have to be thicker than normal in order to achieve best results. If the frosting, especially for decorating, is too thin, it will not hold its shape. You will notice that most frostings, decorating or not, will need to be thicker than normal, such as Royal Icing.
We recommend practicing what you are to pipe before you go to the final product. There is a learning curve to getting it just right.
Whether you are filling pâte à choux or piping a decoration on a cake, it is advised to pulse the On/Off button as opposed to holding it down continuously. This allows for more control on
5
the amount of filling or frosting that will be used at one time.
When piping on a cookie or a cake, for decorating, quickly pulse once and then gauge your work from there. It is better to go under in time than over. There will always be more frosting/filling than expected pressed out of the tip, so go slowly. As when using a traditional pastry bag for decorating, you want to guide the frosting as if it were a ribbon, as opposed to forcing it in place.
When filling, be it cream puffs or deviled eggs, pipe desired amount and then pause between each, making sure all of the filling is removed from the tip before moving on to the next one.
To decorate and add textures, colors, or flavors to cookies, cakes and candies, use the pastry tips. Following are the uses we suggest.
#1 Round Tip: Use to make cream puffs or gougères
#2 Ribbon/Rose: Can also be used to make flowers on cakes
#3 3-Prong Star: Use to make stars for decorating cakes/ cupcakes
#4 Ridged Border: Makes an elegant ridged border
#5 Ribbed/Basket Weave: An easy way to make a beautiful basket weave on cakes.
#6 Classic Star Tip: Use for decorating cakes and filling cream puffs
#7 Simple Border: Great for piping borders on cakes
#8 3-Prong Border: Beautiful when used to pipe cream or meringues on tarts/pies.
CARE,CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
To keep your cookie press in optimum operating condition, we recommend cleaning after each different filling is used.
1.Unplug unit.
2.To unlock the tube cover and the cookie disc or tip, hold the tube pointing downward with one hand and turn the tube cover counterclockwise. Remove the disc or tip assembly.
3.Holding the motor body with one hand, and the tube with the other hand, turn the tube counterclockwise. The arrow on the tube should line up with the unlock position on the motor body. Pull off to remove. Slide out the shaft and turn the shaft adapter counterclockwise to remove.
4.Wash all removable parts and accessories in warm, soapy water immediately after use. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
5.Discs and tips are stainless steel and should be cleaned with a soft cloth or sponge. Make sure to dry immediately to avoid spotting.
6.Wipe the exterior of the motor body with a soft, damp cloth and dry completely.
7.Do not use steel wool, scouring pads or abrasive cleansers, as they will damage the finish.
8.When the disks and tips have been used for a while, they may darken in color. This is to be expected and does not interfere with the product performance.
9.A stiff brush can be used to clean the inside of the tube and pastry tips.
10.Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative.
Storage
1.Clean the cookie press as instructed.
2.Put the cookie press and parts in the original box and store in a clean, dry location.
