πͺ Does anyone still have one of these?

Hey Reader, It's Throwback Tuesday! πͺ I have a question for you. Do you still have one of those Pampered Chef cookie presses tucked away in a kitchen drawer? You know the one. You load it up with cookie dough, press down, and out comes a perfectly shaped little Christmas tree, wreath, or flower. Well, perfectly shaped most of the time. π I've had my Pampered Chef cookie press for years, and there's something about those little buttery spritz cookies that brings back memories. But here's the thing. I could never decide which version I liked better. The classic buttery vanilla cookies? Or the rich chocolate ones? So, naturally, I wanted to make both! The problem was that making two full batches left me with a mountain of cookies. Not necessarily a terrible problem, but still. That's when I figured out a little trick. I could make both flavors from one batch of dough! There's just one tiny challenge. The original recipe calls for one egg, so splitting everything in half isn't quite as simple as it sounds. I figured out an easy way around that, and I've been using it ever since. And while these cookies are wonderful for Christmas, there's no reason to save them for December. Hearts for Valentine's Day, shamrocks for St. Patrick's Day, flowers for spring. The possibilities are endless! πͺ See how I make both versions of my favorite spritz cookiesβ Now, I'm curious... Do you still have a cookie press? And if you could only choose one, would you go with classic vanilla or chocolate? Hit reply and tell me. I'd love to know! Until next Tuesday, Michele βοΈ Fun in Key West P.S. With the holidays sneaking up on us, this might be the perfect excuse to dig that cookie press out of the cabinet. Just saying! π
