Recently, I was at a party and amidst all the fancy cakes and pastries, I noticed a plate with perfectly shaped flower cookies with a blue lentil in the center. I was so excited to see these cookies as they brought back my cozy childhood memories. My mother’s cookie press was the perfect entertainment for a long winter night, snowy day, midwinter vacation, simcha baking and more.
I purchased this cookie press and was amazing by how perfectly it worked (that part I didn’t remember, I guess it’s been perfected over the years!). This cookie press has a 4.5 star rating with well over 7,000 reviews!
 With 12 shapes to choose from and endless decorating options, this tool will fill lots of fun hours and will be well worth the purchase.
