Norpro 3301 Deluxe Biscuit/Cookie Press

Marcato deluxe cookie press. This ideal cookie dough dropper includes 24 accessories for cookie shapes and decorations. It comes with recipes and a complete instruction booklet. Made in Italy.

In Europe they call cookies "biscuits," and you can too if you want to lull yourself into thinking you're eating something healthier than sugar cookies. With this Italian biscuit maker, it's easy to get the same size and shape of cookie every time. Just put the dough in the cylinder, choose small or large cookies, attach one of the 20 die-plates, and press the lever; the precise amount of dough is automatically pumped out onto your cookie sheet. Your cookies will look store-bought perfect, but taste oh-so-much-better because you baked them yourself. The maker and die-plates should be hand washed, and they come with a three-year warranty. --Doree Armstrong
