How to Make Softer Cookie Dough For a Press?

1. Use softened butter. When butter is cold, it's harder and will make the dough more difficult to press. Let the butter sit out at room temperature for about 30 minutes before you start making the dough.

2. Add an egg. Eggs will help to bind the dough together and make it more pliable.

3. Use less flour. Too much flour will make the dough dry and crumbly. Start with the amount of flour called for in the recipe, and then add more if needed.

4. Chill the dough before pressing it. This will help to firm it up and make it easier to press through the cookie press.

5. Press the dough slowly and evenly. If you press the dough too quickly, it will be more likely to break.

6. Use a cookie press with a large barrel. This will make it easier to press out long, consistent strips of dough.

7. Bake the cookies at the correct temperature. If the cookies are baked at too low of a temperature, they will be soft and chewy. If they are baked at too high of a temperature, they will be hard and crumbly.
