to put through a cookie press thing-a-me bob - similar to an icing piping do-dad - sorry I'm incredibly tired today and I'm stuck for the really words - I bought this thing at Kmart when I was with the kids and it make different shape cookies by forcing dough through the nozzle onto a cookie tray - but when we opened it up it didnt come with a recipe and I cant for the life of me find a dough soft enough to squirt through this darn thing and the kids are - well one of them - are/is beginning to nag! So I am turning to the experts- so folks what have you got???

Have a recipe for "Viennese Fingers" which is a soft smooth mixture piped from a piping bag onto baking trays and after baked is then dipped one end into a choc coating.
Presumably one could use this recipe to suit oneself.
Will post recipe tomorrow if interested.
Cheers.

...melting moments or yoyo recipes are good...if you cream the butter and icing sugar and mix the dry ingredients with a beater, it will be soft enough to use in a cookie press...if it's a bit stiff add a little milk...

I use the edmonds shortbread recipe - just add a little less flour so the dough is still soft.Someone on another thread said to refrigerate the tray prior to pressing the biscuits on - it helps them to stick to the tray (grease it though).
