My sister just sent me the one that my grandmother and mother both used when I was a kid. I'm excited to give this a shot, it's been decades since i've even seen one of these!
My dear grandma passed away a few months ago and left me one these among other neat items. I had no idea what this did, but now I do! Thank you much for the video.
I have the exact same gizmo... that my sister bought at a garage sale. If you use the simple, single star or the one that looks like a line with bumps, you hold the gizmo at a 45 degree angle and make 3" strips, or little straws. I know some families that write their names with the star disc, but I find that very tough to do. Thanks for sharing.
I just pulled out mine that I got from my mom. It’s probably from the 1950s from the look of the old box and recipe booklet. Aww, missing my mom rn, May she RIP. I’m going to try it out today. The most exciting part is that it was made in the USA! Thanks for doing this video. Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
Thanks for all the information, I truly appreciate it. I've been down sizing because I'm an empty nester and I found this cooky cutter😮. Mom has Alzheimer’s and I don't remember using this...RUclips to the rescue😂 Great video, thanks for sharing 😊 Edited: have you used the Mirro frosting vitage gadget?
I know this is an older video but I recommend counting as you turn the handle so you can get a feel for how long it takes for the dough to come out and stick to the pan. The timing may differ from shape to shape
Any tips on getting the dough to the right consistency? I have one and tried the recipe that came with it (still have the booklet) and it was all crumbly so my cookies were a mess. Lol
I'm planning on making a new video today December the 23rd and will address that problem. The recipe I use is called butter cookies. I will add the recipe in the description
I usually make cookies at 350 and watch them. You want them to just start lightly turning tan then let them cool slightly before removing from the cookie sheet.
your cookie dough is too thick. I have an identical cookie press I got from a second hand store. I use a softer dough and the cookies turn out properly
I have made three videos. It is in the one that I misspelled Mirro. It was the 3rd one I made. I think it says updated video of the mirror cookie press.
Thanks so much for this no body else has posted this hard to find instructions

Thanks for watching and the nice comment. I'm sure you're grandmother would love that you are using her cookie press.

You are welcome! Happy Thanksgiving to you as well.
Chill the dough for a couple of hours..for it to stay firm and retain its shape of the template..coming out of the cookie press…

Thank you so much! I'm so glad it helped you!
No, I haven't used that gadget. I think I remember seeing my mom though.

True. I'm just not that precise. Lol
So cool! Thank you for sharing ❤
Ty for sharing. I just got a rly old one for free! Gonna try it tomorrow.
It's really fun. I looked up spritz cookie recipe today. I think it may have more flavor.
When you screw it down reverse just a hair before lifting up that’s with this older lady said she had one for a long time.
Great tip! 👍 Thanks!

What temperature in Fahrenheit do they bake at and how long?
