Need help from cookie press experts. (sugar, cookies, crock, dough)

[I love boots.]

Loved those cookie press sugar cookies since I was a kid. Finally bought a cookie press and it's a disaster. I think I'm not getting the dough right. Looking for the right recipe.

I have a hand crank cookie press and I use a classic Spritz cookie recipe. You can change them up by sprinkling with sugar, adding cocoa, food coloring, or whatever flavoring you like.

The trick with a press is the consistency of the dough. Start pressing as soon as you're done mixing the dough, and if the kitchen is too warm I'll sometimes refrigerate the dough between batches.

Thank you I'll try that recipe.
