How to use the Mirror cookie press

[@BReno-mm3if]

So sweet seeing your mom come through. My mom passed 12 years ago and I'd give anything to see her sitting there watching me cook. No matter how old we get we still love and miss our Moms.

[@kathey1981]

Yes, I'm glad I have this on video among some other videos with our dog

[@c.a.schenk653]

I agree. I miss my Mom every day.

Just watched this video & because of you & how to use video for the 1st time in my life I used my grandmas & made 2 dozen cookies. THANK YOU. they are not the prettiest not sure why the dough would build up in the disk but some came out some built up anyways. I did it. 58 & always wanted to make them but never did. Thank you

[@kathey1981]

Yay!❤ I'm so happy I helped you out. Yeah it does build up in there. I don't know why. I guess there is a tiny space where it can get through but isn't it fun to use? I love it. I haven't actually cracked mine out this year yet. Thank you so much for your kind comment!

[@debbiewilliams9331]

Just wanted to say thanks, and I loved your mom coming in. My mom lived with me and I lost her a while back and this video brought back such lovely memories. Wish she had talked. Thanks again

[@kathey1981]

Thank you so much for your comment. Now I wish she would have said something as well. I do probably have some she is in though, so I can listen to her voice again. I'm so sorry to hear of your mother's passing. Sending prayers.

Thank you for the video Kathey, I just inherited this press from my grandma who passed a couple weeks ago. I always enjoyed the cookies as a kid, but at my grandma was far enough away that I only got to see the cookie making process once or twice as a young boy. Sitting down today to relive those memories and needed a grandma like fill in to show me how to use the press I just inherited. While you might not be my grandma, thank you for taking the time to make this video. It means a lot to be able to carry on a family tradition, and today you've helped me do that. Thank you and Merry Christmas. ❤

[@kathey1981]

I'm so sorry for your loss. I hope making cookies with her press helps you remember her. Thank you for the kind words. Merry Christmas to you as well.

[@bluestar2195]

Loved this.

[@kathey1981]

Thank you

[@kathey1981]

Thank you!

[@tellballwill]

We finally unboxed an old press my mother gave us awhile back, and this made us excited to use it. Thanks for the great video!

[@kathey1981]

I am so happy I could help! I hope you make some yummy cookies!

[@kathey1981]

Thank you so much! I made another one just in case you want to watch it for giggles. Lol I think I have bleached hair in that one. Thank you all so much for watching my videos. I am really thrilled to see how many people I have helped figure this thing out. It's about that time of year again for me to get mom's out of the cabinet and make cookies.

[@zoilarivera8866]

I totally understand my mom lives with me too. I really wish you coukd have added a picture how the cookies turned out. Thanks for sharing😊

[@kathey1981]

I actually made another video at a different time and did show the cookies I think. Look for that. Some of them really turn out cool and then some I didn't like as much.

[@spid3rchick]

Thank you very much! I just watched this video after watching your older video. I love Mirro aluminum products!

[@kathey1981]

I'm so glad you enjoyed watching my videos. This is the only product I have. It is so fun to use making cookies.

[@hollystock1734]

This video helped me so much! Just got one of these that used to belong to my great, great aunt 😊

[@kathey1981]

You are so welcome! I loved sharing.

[@bolanett]

Thank you for the instructional video! I just found one of these at the local thrift shop and couldn’t figure out how to get the discs in. Can’t wait to make spritz cookies as a kid I loved chocolate spritz. Thanks again🌸

[@kathey1981]

That makes me happy! I'm so glad I could help. I'll bet your cookies will be great!

[@shirleybalinski4535]

I have used my Mom's 1950's Mirro press for years with always good results. My daughter bought me a new version with a handle & grip squeeze dispenser. I have not had any luck with this new gadget & hate. I want my old Mirro back.

[@kathey1981]

Did you get rid of it? Sometimes the old things are better.

[@shirleybalinski4535]

@@kathey1981..no. it finally just broke.

[@vikkihawkins186]

I love your easy, friendly way! Thanks!

[@kathey1981]

How sweet of you! Thanks so much for watching!

[@hfrt29]

That's pretty cool though I'm looking forward to making cookies with this thing

[@seasonaljoy]

Thank you! I always wondered how these worked!

[@kathey1981]

Your are so welcome! I was lucky enough to have the manual.

[@tammydeatonhoskins2696]

You make it look so easy.

[@kathey1981]

It really is with this. Do you have one?

[@kathey1981]

I left out a few details on the recipe. Decorate with colorful sugar or any kind of sprinkles you can find that will add a little extra taste. Bake it 375 for 6 to 8 minutes until they just barely start turning brown on the edges. Don't over bake!

[@hfrt29]

Oh cool because I have almond paste that I want to incorporate thanks for your video

[@kathey1981]

You are welcome!

[@lizzystitch4842]

If only today's cookie presses worked that well!!

[@kathey1981]

I'm sure they aren't anything like this one. It's too bad they make stuff so cheap.😢

[@itsybitsy1693]

Hi Kathy, what are the three bigger ones for? Do you have any idea, not the disc, but the other three that come with it, thank you.

[@kathey1981]

I'm not sure exactly what pieces you're talking about. I kind of packed away what I didn't use. There is a cylinder piece like this one with a handle on it and I think it is for icing cakes so it probably has some sort of a tip that goes on it. I don't know where I stored the rest of the pieces. LOL sorry!

[@tshinateyav8793]

Merci beaucoup, j'en ai un aussi de cette marque je ne savais pas comment l'utiliser

[@kathey1981]

I don't speak French but I do recognize Thank you. Thanks so much for your comment!

[@tshinateyav8793]

Oh sorry , I say thank you for your video, I have got the same gadget of mirror but before your video I didn't know how to use it. Thanks 😘

[@kathey1981]

@@tshinateyav8793 I am so glad I can help so many people with this video. Happy baking!

[@veronicab.8884]

Hi. Thank you for the video. In the description you posted the recipe but it does not mention how many eggs.

[@7eather]

Just 1 egg

[@jasonrumsey5760]

How do I clean the disc and press my mom gave to me many years ago and it stains the butter cookies. I would love to use it again

[@kathey1981]

I just put mine in the sink with hot water and dish soap scrub it. Wow! I've never heard of anyone saying that it stained their cookies. I'm not sure what to do about that.

[@dindu-nj3yj]

I had a device like this 50 years ago and everything worked great. In the meantime, I moved several apartments and got divorced and the device disappeared for some reason. Two weeks ago I bought a very similar device and the cookies did not want to part with the device. I don't like to use butter or margarine and I put oil. Maybe because of that? At my age, I should only use margarine or oil. The recipe used to be 1 package of margarine (200 g) 1 cup of sugar 1 egg 350 g flour + baking powder (10 g). A little vanilla extract They always turned out so well that I made large quantities and sent them to my husband who was in the army and his friends liked it very much. Today I don't even put an egg, instead 1/2 cup of orange juice and the zest of the orange + flour and sugar with a little vanilla extract and when I made balls by hand and flattened them with a fork it came out great in the oven. Please tell me if something is wrong with the materials. thanks!

[@kathey1981]

You know I'm not really sure if your substitutions had much to do with it. I would have to try your recipe which wouldn't be a bad idea. Cookies are always good! LOL and I question you're not using butter because butter is so much better for you than oil and margarine is really bad for you. I've went from vegan taquito to carnivore and in all my researching with different people through all these diets, they say that butter is the best thing (excite except vegans of course) and eggs have a lot of goodness as well. I will try your recipe and get back with you

[@tammyryan8465]

Great…..now I want to hear your mom talk 😜

[@kathey1981]

😂

[@myfavorites5747]

Looking for the recipe

[@kathey1981]

It's in the description. Sorry I have some typos Mirro, not mirror. Lol

[@hfrt29]

Everyone that I saw online has a black plastic thing on the end mine is metal shaped like an oval

[@tammydeatonhoskins2696]

Is the dough cold or room temp?

[@kathey1981]

I just mix it up and use it straight away.

[@salwa7213]

Nice good
