I love Spritz cookies, but I've gone through at least two or three cookie presses and they all break or the dough is too temperamental to be pressed out reliably.

Any advice?

Are you letting your dough soften to room temp?

Not PP but I also have never been able to master these. Cheap sets. Expensive sets. Just can't make it work.

Hah. This whole thread was like learning a foreign language to me.
Since Google is my friend I did look up a spritzer cookie and it looks yummy. Im not even into baking but I think ill start with a spritz!

PP here, when I would let it soften to room temp the dough would get stuck and not release from the press.

Cookie roller, you must not have a spritz! You can't go back!

Oh gosh seriously. Your response is nicer than mine would have been, since she said she laughed. Even I could tell from the OP that you were dealing with spritz and that rolling wasn't an option.

You can find the old Mirro aluminum pressed at goodwill. My mom's lasted forever but they are kind of a bitch to use.

Experienced spritz-er here. Do NOT make the dough ahead of time unless you have some kind of magical recipe specifically designed for spritz cookies that can be premade. IME it does not end well. You have to make the dough and immediately start gunning.
Also, do not use the plug-in, newer models. An old fashioned mechanical action press is the best bet.
If you keep having issues, and you've tried different guns, maybe it's your recipe.

Make you get a metal one not plastic. My sister killed hers 2 years ago. Our mother's metal one is still going strong at 40+ years.

I call them " squirt um out cookies "

"Spritz" is German for "squirt 'em out"!
