Your cookies look wonderful. They must really cheer up a tray of cookies. I managed to find cookie presses for all 3 daughters, they are the all metal ones from antique stores. As was said can't beat the all metal ones.
My favorite is a very crisp sugar cookie.
Sugar Cookies
1 cup butter or margarine - softened
1 cup powdered sugar

1 cup vegetable oil
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. cream of tartar
4 cups flour
Cream butter and sugars, mix in oil, egss and vanilla. Mix in dry ingredients. Dough is very soft. Place 1 tbsp. size balls of dough 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Dip bottom of a glass in sugar and slightly flatten cookies. Bake at 375* for 8 - 10 minutes. Sprinkle with colored sugars or other sprinkles if desired.
Got this recipe from my dad's mom. My mom's dad liked these because he could eat them without his teeth! I know this is not a family "original" recipe but it does have family memories tied to it!
