I understand the sausages but how on earth does a meat grinder make cookies?

Classic spritz cookies.

After reading your post, I searched for Mouli and found that it is available for purchase here for $29.50

It seems like a nifty grater. I may consider getting one myself.

I have turned into a kitchen gadget freak after moving to a new home with large kitchen/utility/dining room cabinets, kitchen island and countertop.

I use the stove and oven very rarely since they are energy hogs and heat up the house in the summer. For my daily cooking, I use two induction cooktops, two microwave ovens, a toaster oven and an air fryer/grill combo.

The air fryer/grill combo (Ninja FG551 Foodi Smart XL 6-in-1 Indoor Grill with Air Fry, Roast, Bake, Broil & Dehydrate, Smart Thermometer) has been my favorite appliance since buying it last year.

I stand corrected on the Mouli availability. Perhaps they came back on the market, because ten years ago, I just couldn't find one.

I mostly use it for cheese, but also cabbage, carrots and other vegetables. I have used it for bread crumbs. I have a couple of the hand-held ones, but as I age, I'm losing my grip and can't bear down as much as I need to.

I love my Mouli!

Meat grinder doesn't make meat, nor make cookies.
You feed it a cookie dough and use cookie attachment:
Here you can see the attachment (fits most manual and electric grinders) and detailed instruction:

Those cookies are called spritz cookies. You can make delicious churros using it too.

I have something along the same lines, except it's a Zyliss stand alone drum grater. I find it so much easier than a standard box grater and I can save my fingers.

I didn't think it actually made the cookie dough.

I'm familiar with spritz too, but we used to make them by squirting bits of dough directly onto the cookie sheet. Now I see what the grinder does; it makes a rope of dough that you can then make into shapes and place on the sheet. Those look nice, like the butter cookies bought in tins (but I'm sure they are better).

Specialty? Does a four mill count? A meat grinder?

My son, who is a coffee fanatic, has special coffee making stuff.

I need to cook gluten-free so I make my own flour blend. By grinding ingredients myself, I save a lot of money, plus, I can get rice flour really finely ground so it doesn't bake up with a texture like Styrofoam.

I bought that beer thing that is supposed to make canned beer taste like tap beer and that was a huge waste of money. (as seen on Shark Tank )

Of course a flour mill counts! Most people don't have/want one of those. My in-laws did have one, but they ground wheat and it came out very heavy and coarse. Maybe that's how they liked it. Your rice flour sounds better to me. I like to use it in shortbread (along with wheat flour) because that makes it more crisp. Never thought of grinding my own, though!

We have a flour mill, too. I use it for grain mixes with rye, wheat, oat, for breadmaking.
