Marie asked about the gadget and the recipe so here they are. I didn't want to type in the name of this little gadget for fear of all the google searches that would come from hunters and bad men. My old one that I had for years cracked and the company was bought out by Hamilton Beach, so all of the discs from the old work in the new one.
Here is the recipe:
1 c. soft butter
2/3 c. sugar
3 egg yolks
1 t. vanilla
Mix above ingredients thoroughly.
Add 2 and 1/2 cups flour, work in with your hands. (I have a Kitchen Aid mixer so I use that instead.)
Use cookie press to shape cookies, bake at 400 degrees for 7-10 minutes.
This is the best part, eat all of the misshapen rejects and save the "pretty" ones for company.
Oh and then when you run out of rejects to eat that is an excuse to make another batch in another color, guaranteed to produce more reject shapes!
