It would be helpful to know what type of cookies you are making and the quantities of oil, eggs, milk, honey or other liquid ingredients you have added.

If you've followed a recipe and the mix is runny before you put it in the oven then review the quantities of wet ingredients the recipe calls for.

Generally, cookie dough should be stiff enough to drop (or be pushed from) a spoon onto the baking tray, or to be rolled into balls and placed on the tray - in other words: it should hold its shape.

Other cookies may be baked in a piece in a Swiss Roll tin, marked into sections while still hot and then cut into pieces when cold. This type of cookie dough is often runnier and may have a higher quantity of sugar.

If you've made up a batch of dough that looks too runny you have several options:

Add more dry ingredients (flour, rolled oats, desiccated coconut) to achieve the consistency you want. Egg, semolina, chopped dates or tahini will help a mixture thicken and set as it cooks.

Do a test bake with 3 or 4 spoonfuls placed far apart on baking parchment and see what happens.

Beat in another egg, a cup of flour and a teaspoon of baking powder and bake it as if it were a cake.

Bake it in a flat tin and cut it into pieces after it has cooked.

Place it in the freezer for a time to harden it before cutting it into portions and baking while frozen.

If you have baked the cookies and consider them a failure don't be disheartened. The failed biscuits can be crumbed in a food processor and added to granola, to a crumble topping, to add texture to another cake, or to make truffles or feed birds - be creative.

How to Make Softer Cookie Dough For a Cookie Press?

A baking tool to make formed cookies is called a cookie press. The cookie press can either be manual or electric. It consists of a tube to place the cookie dough, a stencil at one end to shape the cookies to give them uniformity and a plunger to press the cookie dough through the stencil of the press. In order to have the cookie press working suitably, the cookie dough needs to be at the correct consistency. Here are some tips for creating cookie dough with the perfect consistency. 1. Allow the cookie dough to reach room temperature before using in the cookie press. Several cookie recipes that call for the use of a press will have you refrigerate the cookie dough before using it. If you refrigerate the cookie dough too long, you may end up with dough that is too hard to manipulate and work with the press properly. 2. If the dough is too sticky and soft after taking it out of the fridge, add one tablespoon of flour at a time until the cookie dough is firm and workable. 3. If the cookie dough is too stiff after it has come to room temperature, add a tablespoon of milk or butter until the cookie dough is softer. Remember to not add too much butter, as this may cause the cookies to spread when baking. 4. Load the room temperature cookie dough into the press, and place in the fridge for ten minutes, which will allow the cookie dough to set up. 5. Never grease the baking sheets when you use a cookie press. The cookie dough will need to stick to the sheet. Remember to use recipes that are designed for the press. Do not add chips or sprinkles to the dough, as it can cause the press to jam.

Dough that is too dry and crumbly may need additional liquid, such as a few drops of milk or water. However, if the cookie dough has been chilled, let it warm up to room temperature before adding liquid, because the dough may become soft again as it becomes warm.

What kind of cookie recipes can be made in a Rival Cookie Factory?

Plug in the cookie factory. A light should come on and it should start heating up. Preheat, closed, for 5 minutes. Leave the cookie pans on the table so you can load them up with some dough. After 5 minutes, open the press and put one of the cookie pans loaded with dough into the press. Let it cook for 5 minutes. Check cookies after 5 minutes. Cookie time varies with each type of cookie. Cooks slower than an oven...which is good. less likely to burn.


Pampered chef cookie press too frustrating to use?

Take some frustration out of the process by chilling the dough for at least 1 hour before putting it into the press. After loading the tube, put the remaining cookie dough back in the refrigerator to keep it chilled. Room temperature dough does not separate well. Chilled dough 'breaks off' easier. Next, do not use warm/hot cookie sheets or baking stones. The dough won't stick to a warm sheet/stone very well. Next, pull the press straight up - not to the side. Lastly, work quickly while the dough is still chilled.
