Vintage Holiday Spritz Cookies Using a 1955 Cookie Press

[@madelinebell84]

I found one of these yesterday in a local charity shop (Sears brand), still in the box with all of the pieces. I figured it would be a bit pricey considering all of that, but when I asked the little old gentleman behind the counter how much he was asking for it, he said "Oh, just give me a dollar and bring me some cookies one day." I gave him a hug and $5 then giggled like a loon all the way home! 😁 He's definitely getting a tin of Christmas cookies every year from now on! 🍪

[@junek1006]

I have this cookie press and have used it every Christmas all my life. I inherited all my moms kitchen items when she passed away. I was 7. So I've hung onto her things and used them and remember her like that. Its so nice watching you use this press. I bought a new one once and hated it so back to my old one. Love your videos.

[@06BIBOI]

I know when they made that gadget in 1955 they never in a billion years could have imagined a Women would using it in the year 2019 lol !

[@LaciFayTheVintageGirlNextDoor]

I don’t know, those things were made to last! Haha!

[@harleyguyinmilw]

hey!!!! why does it have to be a Women using it?? I'm a 60yr old man who bakes Christmas cookies every year, for the last 35 yrs!! I bake the exact same cookies my mom made, from her cook book. I have 2 of these cookie press's, 1 used and 1new in the box.

[@purplemartinracingteam1750]

My aunt dorothy was a huge cookie maker. Whenever I was over as a kid, she had me grab the bowl with the mix in it and stir it up with a wood spoon to help her out

[@clkh714]

Thanks LacI!This is another gadget you demonstrated that my mom had. She had that exact Mirro set and we had red and green cookies of all those cute shapes every Christmas up into the 1980s! Love your outfit btw.

[@JC123Adam]

I showed my roommate this video. He remembered his family using this same press when he was growing up to make cookies. I just ordered one off Ebay so that we may add this tradition to our repertoire.

[@johnnie2638]

OMG!! That's the cookie press I grew up with in the 60s and 70s! I remember my mom would let me use it when she was making Christmas cookies. The new ones make the same style cookies but using the old fashioned spritz cookie press brings me back to my childhood.

[@Youre-Welcome]

My aunt gave me her (barely used) cookie press, and it's so nice to find someone who has the same one! I know the newer ones are almost idiot proof, but there's something about telling people I used an original press that makes it more impressive 😆

[@twilafields4142]

I found one of these presses at the thrift store for .99 cents. I wasn’t exactly sure what it was or how to use it until I found your video, thank you.

[@rachelskourtis2804]

Used the same cookie press every year for Christmas butter cookies ever since I was a child. My grandmother had one and passed on the tradition to my father. Was able to find one for myself and continuing on the tradition. Cant imagine using anything else.

[@mariemarsden5505]

I am going to watch this video during the holidays. Reminds me of my childhood home.

Nice job with the cookie press. My mom gave me hers from the 50s. I couldn’t believe how easy it is to use. The condition of your box is amazing, totally mint. My mom used her cookie press a lot; the box is in rough shape but I keep it for sentimental reasons. Thanks for sharing!

[@TheGoldielover]

Easily found on eBay. A few years ago I picked up a new in box set that is probably very similar to this one. It came with two different sizes of press, with the smaller one being perfect for piping frosting. While it had a decent collection of tips and disks, I've added to it with a few different designs that were made over the years. It may not be quite as easy to use as a modern press, but it isn't difficult, and not having any plastic in it means that it will likely outlast any of today's presses.

[@MelBscents]

I make the Christmas 🎄 cookies every year. Yummy with almond extract. One thing I learned while growing up was to not let the cookie dough be extra thick. The top will pop off if it is too thick. Enjoy! 😊. Also have the donut attachment. Also, I put the food colouring in with the wet ingredients, then it gets mixed in evenly. (That’s hen using just one colour of course.). 😉

I could imagine a mom doing this for the PTA bake sale or maybe for their child’s classroom Christmas party where the students brought home a signup list and parents could choose 2 things they were willing to help with supplying (in case choice 1 was taken up) and they picked cookies cause they wanted to use their cookie press maybe that their husband bought them earlier in the week.
