Would not make this again.
The dough was very sticky! I tried adding some flour, which helped a little. Our cookies did not look good, but I'll admit they did taste good! :) I will probably try a different Cream Cheese recipe next time. three stars

Light, flavor-filled, wonderful little cookies. Mine were a bit sticky as well, but I live in Georgia and the humidity is constant. So to defeat that I put the mix in the fridge for about 10 minutes and fill the press, then put back what I'm not using. five stars

Would make this again.
I always do my spritz first, in a cold kitchen, before the oven is going and I find that it works best. They do not do well with any kind of grease on your cookie pans. So the night before give them a good cleaning with a brillo pad. My family also knows that they are noto to spray my cookie sheets. The build up is hard to get rid of. five stars
