Product Description

The quickest way to make uniformly perfect butter cookies, known as spritz in the Scandinavian tradition, is with a cookie press. Especially during the holidays, spritz cookies become a family's favorite in such shapes as Christmas trees or snowflakes. The Wilton Pro Ultra II Deluxe has several advantages over other models. The clear barrel allows monitoring of the dough level inside, while the ergonomic, soft-grip trigger is a big improvement over uncomfortable metal handles, especially when multiple batches are made over the course of many hours. And, a non-slip ring on the bottom keeps the press upright on a cookie sheet without sliding around.

To use the cookie press, insert a shape disk, fill with room-temperature dough that is neither too soft nor too hard, and tighten the plunger rod. One squeeze of the trigger is usually enough to form a cookie. Sixteen disks with different shapes and four mini-shapes are included, along with an instruction and recipe booklet. After use, the press should be washed by hand in hot, soapy water and allowed to dry thoroughly before storing. --Ann Bieri

4.0 out of 5 stars Found a solution to the sticking problem.... March 27, 2008

By N.H.

Overall I found this to be a good cookie press, especially for the money.

The barrel is made of plastic, not glass, which was disappointing.It's fairly sturdy, but also doesn't weigh a ton. It comes apart easily which is nice for cleaning or changing the shape during cookie making. I've read reviews where people complained about the ratcheting action not working - mine worked perfectly, or the dough not sticking (this has more to do with the type of pan you use or the type of dough than the cookie press). Don't buy this press thinking you can use the premade store cookie dough - it's just too thick! The only cookie presses this might be possible with would be professional grade = $$$$$. The recipes Wilton provides are lousy, but you can find many good spritz cookie recipes - check out Recipes.com - that work fine with this press.

Some tips that I've learned after owning this for a while.... refrigerate the cookie press for about an hour before you intend to use it. The colder the barrel, the easier the dough slides through and the better shape you get. Also, try putting your cookie sheets in the freezer for several hours before making the cookies - the dough will stick to a frozen cookie sheet just like your tongue would.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great cookie press October 25, 2007

I have been extremely impressed with this cookie press. This is about the 4th or 5th one that I have bought. All of the others had the same problem: no matter what the dough was like it wouldn't stick to the cookie sheet. I spent hours laboring over this and was ready to tear my hair out because no matter what I did I got the same disappointing results. I haven't experienced this with the Wilton press at all. It has very good action and produces nice cookies. This one is a keeper and I am through looking.

3.0 out of 5 stars Works well - for a while December 16, 2005

By J. Wickman

I was given this item as a gift about 5 years ago. For the first year (I only use it for making Christmas cookies), I was very happy with it. I love having a cookie press! However, over time the ratcheting system began to wear down, and I had to really convince the mechanism to catch for each cookie. This year I tried to use it and discovered that the plastic part (the black part in the picture) had cracked. This rendered it totally useless. I will replace it but with an all metal model.
