The Pampered Chef Cookie Press

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.

– Comes with 10 metal disks: a ribbon for savory cheese straws, a potato ricer disk for perfect mashed potatoes and 8 decorative cookie deisgns.

– Dishwasher-safe

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.)

Note: Looking for Recipes – Go to The Pampered Chef Here and take a look at their many great options. You can also find a recipe for The Classic Spritz Cookies I made above.

    Pampered Chef! YES! I’m a huge fan of Pampered Chef. I had a lot of their stuff before I divorced. Alas, I lost it all! I’m in an area now with NO Pampered Chef…*sigh* I’d love the cookie press, but my MOST needed item is another bar stone. (These are a must!)

    I follow you on facebook.

    I subscribe to you emails.

    Thanks for this opportunity!

    I love Pampered Chef, and I would love the cookie press. My daughter’s first Christmas was last year, and I wanted to start some traditions with her. I decided we would bake cookies on Christmas Eve, and my pictures of us “baking” include a package of Pillsbury break n’ bake cookies! Hopefully, this year, I’ll do better.

    I would also love the Cranberry Rectangular Stone Baker. My staple dish to bring to Thanksgiving and Christmas is sweet potato casserole, and it would look so much prettier in this beautiful baker.

  24. Michelle says

    I have been wanting a Pampered Chef cookie scoop; no one knows how I do without one! Follow on Facebook as well.

  26. Jordan K says

    I LOVE the Pampered Chef stone’s. Everything I cook on them cooks so evenly! I love love love them! I will never go back to regular cookie sheets ever!

  33. Tina F says

    It is hard to choose a favorite. I like the plate stands and the adjustable measuring spoons. There are so many things that I could keep naming all day. I also love the Cranberry Stone Bakeware. I would love the whole set.

    I also subscribe to your emails.

  35. Cherie Riles says

    I have a bunch of their products and love them all! But, I do not have the cookie press and would really enjoy it! Thanks!

  66. Abbie says

    It’s hard to pick just one thing from Pamered Chef! The cookie press would actually be very high on my wish list. My grandmother had an antique press when I was a kid, and I have lots of good memories of making cookies with it.

  68. cristina says

    I have to pick just one item of pampered chef. Are you kidding me!! I love pampered chef. I would love the bamboo spoons!!!

  78. Carly says

    My favorite item from Pampered Chef is the pizza stone with handles. I just purchased one and have been using it for pizza and to heat leftovers.

  84. melinda says

    i love pampered chef and the item that i actually want is the cookie press. My mother has one and I am jealous of hers.

  95. Laurie L. says

    I love all things PC, so it’s hard to choose just one. I love all of their baking stones! It would be great to have a cookie press like this one as well though. I’ve never had a PC one, and the one I had seems to have been lost in a recent move. :(

  114. Denise C. says

    Checked out Pampered Chef Website, lots of goodies to choose from, but need an old favorite…

    I would love another chopper. I used my first one so much, I wore it out. Then the second one, a piece melted in the dishwasher. Now I don’t want to make another meal that requires chopping without another one!!

  132. Carolyn says

    2 favorite items I saw were the stainless mixing bowl & the cookie press. I love Pampered Chef and I’d love to win the cookie press which I do not have!
