Do not make these
The dough was way too dry and actually BROKE my cookie press while trying to get them to come out. Do not add that much flour

Cookie Press Pro had problems too - FIXES INCLUDED
I read the other 1 star reviews but proceeded anyway because I thought it was just a matter of experience using a cookie press. I have used mine for years and have a really good feel for it - and this recipe needs work.
The dough is way too dry. I ended up needing to add about 1Tb of liquid (I had half and half, but you could use milk or water). I also added 3/4 tsp vanilla extract - totally makes the flavor better.
Even with my adjustments to the liquid, it was still a nightmare to get it out of my press. The thick dough built up a lot of pressure in the press and my cookies ended up really random/not consistently shaped because of it.
They also did some serious photo manipulation on the featured photo because unless you use molasses or burn the snot out of them, they're not going to get that dark. They don't look very good plain out of the oven.
What ended up working for me was adding a bit of liquid, including some vanilla, and shaking powdered sugar on top when they were done.
i was happy with the adjusted results, but I will probably find a different recipe next time.

Not worth the effort
Have tried two of your recipes to use the cookie press. Recipes very unsuccessful and the cookie press more problem than it is worth.
