POLARIZED PLUG

This appliance has a polarized plug (one prong is wider than the other).
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit into a polarized
outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse
the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not
modify the plug in any way.

Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature by

modifying the plug in any way.

SHORT POWER CORD

A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting
from entanglement or tripping over a longer cord. An extension cord
may be used with care; however, be sure the marked electrical rating is
at least as great as the electrical rating of this appliance. The extension
cord should be positioned such that it does not drape over the counter
or table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.

Wolfgang Puck,

owner of the famous
Spago restaurants and
one of the most influential
chef-restauranteurs in
America, is credited with
reviving California’s rich
culinary heritage. His
cooking innovations,

a result of blending fresh
California ingredients with his classical French techniques, are enjoyed
by world leaders, stars and fellow chefs alike. He established other
trend-setting restaurants like Postrio in San Francisco, Chinois on
Main in Santa Monica, Trattoria del Lupo, and his latest creation, Cut, a
gourmet steakhouse in the Beverly Wilshire Hotel. Home chefs can
also share Mr. Puck’s talents through his cookbooks and, of course,
through his appliances!

Instructions for Making Cookies

The proper consistency of cookie dough is very important. If the dough
is too stiff, it won’t release from the Cookie Press. If the dough is too soft
or sticky, chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes. For best results, use the
recipes in this booklet until you get a feel for the proper consistency of
the dough.

We do not recommend using store-bought refrigerated

cookie doughs.

1 Plug the fully assembled and filled Cookie Press into a standard 120V

AC outlet.

2 Stand the Cookie Press upright and press against the surface of the

cookie sheet. The Cookie Press has been specially designed for
thumb operation, which provides better balance for placing the
cookie shapes on the cookie sheets.

3 When the Tube is filled with cookie dough and the ON/OFF Button

is pressed, the Press Disc pushes downward, forcing the dough
through the Disc or Tip to form an attractive cookie or decoration.

4 Holding the Cookie Press in position against the cookie sheet press

and hold the ON/OFF Button until the air pockets have been
removed and the dough starts to emerge from the openings in the
Cookie Disc.

5 Press a cookie for 2 seconds and note the result.

NOTE: The time to press each cookie will be based on the desired

thickness and shape of your cookie and the dough you are using.
Experiment with varying times and pressures until the desired cookie
thickness is achieved.

6 Release the ON/OFF Button and quickly step to the next position

on the cookie sheet.
