MARCATO Atlas Biscuit Maker Press, Made in Italy, Includes 20 Cookie Disc Shapes, Classic Silver

I had previously owned another brand of cookie maker but lost an important piece on it so it no longer worked. I figured it was less of a hassle to replace the whole cookie maker rather than purchase a replacement part. When I purchased this deluxe stainless steel one I had my doubts because the handle operation looked a little bit funky. My previous one did not operate like this. But I really needed a cookie maker quickly so I tried it. LOVE IT! I noticed a complaint in one of the reviews about it skipping - maybe she received a defective one because mine works so smoothly and does not skip a beat. I can pump out those cookies so quickly it's amazing and consistant. And of course there are wonderful designs to choose from. Many people use it for spritz cookies only on Christmas. I use mine year round. One nice thing about it is that I look like I've spent hours on these delicate little cookies when in reality it's quicker than any drop cookie and the recipes are simple, simple, simple! And if you dip one end in dark chocolate or white chocolate they look very fancy. You can add lovely colors to your cookie dough and produce a rainbow of possibilties. This cookie maker is a breeze to clean. The pieces come apart easily and wash with hardly any effort. On the side of the box it shows the finished shape of each disc which is very helpful because some of the discs have a design that look nothing like the finished product. It makes a beautiful little heart cookie that is wonderful for Valentines Day. It makes a perfect little Christmas tree or wreathe for the holidays. It makes cute little flowers or stars or just fun shapes that are not anything in particular. I highly recommend this cookie maker. It's so easy to use and kind of fun. The possiblities are endless.

I bought this to make something called cheese straws. It's a fairly heavy doe and I've tried a couple of plastic Walmart type cookie presses and find it to be a real workout just trying to get the dough pressed through the disc. Because this one is mechanical and it's not plastic, it works perfectly, is easy to use and easy to clean. If I ever need another one I'll buy this, but this one will probably last forever.

I struggled with another brand of cookie press to the point where I thought making spritz cookies just wasn't for me. Years later, I decide to try again and get this gem. It works PERFECTLY! Everything is well made, metal, cleans easy, and presses like a dream. So glad I found this!! Do not look at the other brands. This is the one you want.

This is a lovely product and I'm glad I purchased it for smaller, more delicate cookies. My family loves spritz cookies and enjoys making them in all different shapes. It is well designed and easy to clean. I would have liked it to be larger and hold more dough

I really enjoyed using this cookie press. I've never had a cookie press before and I researched for a long time before I settled on getting this one. The cookie press was really easy to use. I did have some difficulty with the larger cookies. They didnt keep the shape well but I wasnt sure if it was because of the cookie dough. The small cookies came out great and the shape didn't change as the cookie baked. I do agree with another reviewer that a cookie size thats in between the large and small would have been perfect. I dont think I'll be using the large function for the cookies I bake in the future.The cookie press itself is mostly aluminum but I do believe the handle is stainless steel. I like that there are 20 different dye-plates but I wish there were better shapes.Overall, I think the cookie press is great. I'm glad I did't decide to go with the plastic ones.

Me llegó el producto comprado pero no en las mejores condiciones parece un producto de segunda está oxidado no venía como muestran en el video no trae recetario , no venía en caja , tampoco un utensilio negro que veo ahí en el video que no sé qué es ?? Espero obtener una respuesta pronta y favorable

Ah, finally a high quality cookie press, with metal parts that will stand the test of time. I've owned several plastic ones which didn't last very long. The plastic levers just can't take the pressing up & down & they break, usually when I'm in the middle of a big batch of cookies. So I was happy to find this metal one. I've had it for 9 years & it still works great. The key is to make sure that the dough is at the right temperature so it flows smoothly & quickly presses out one cookie after another. If it's too warm it sticks & if it's too cold it will be stiff. Sometimes if I am making a lot of cookies the dough warms up & gets sticky & doesn't press out perfectly. I find if I set it in the freezer for a minute it'll cool enough to press out perfect shapes again. Don't leave it in the freezer any longer or the dough will be too stiff & you'll need to let it warm up again, which may affect the taste. It comes with such a large assortment of discs that you can make so many beautiful shapes for holidays or just everyday. I have made sweet & savory recipes, both delicious & pretty. This isn't something I use every day, but since it is so easy & quick to make cookies I use it more often that I thought I would. It's easy to clean, take it apart & wash in hot, soapy water then let air dry on a clean dish towel. I never put it in the dishwasher. Also I store it in a tin to keep it clean. I highly recommend this press.
