 makes the perfect spritz cookieMar 18, 2004
By Nilla
I had previously owned another brand of cookie maker but lost an important piece on it so it no longer worked. I figured it was less of a hassle to replace the whole cookie maker rather than purchase a replacement part. When I purchased this deluxe stainless steel one I had my doubts because the handle operation looked a little bit funky. My previous one did not operate like this. But I really needed a cookie maker quickly so I tried it. LOVE IT! I noticed a complaint in one of the reviews about it skipping - maybe she received a defective one because mine works so smoothly and does not skip a beat. I can pump out those cookies so quickly it's amazing and consistant. And of course there are wonderful designs to choose from. Many people use it for spritz cookies only on Christmas. I use mine year round. One nice thing about it is that I look like I've spent hours on these delicate little cookies when in reality it's quicker than any drop cookie and the recipes are simple, simple, simple! And if you dip one end in dark chocolate or white chocolate they look very fancy. You can add lovely colors to your cookie dough and produce a rainbow of possibilties. This cookie maker is a breeze to clean. The pieces come apart easily and wash with hardly any effort. On the side of the box it shows the finished shape of each disc which is very helpful because some of the discs have a design that look nothing like the finished product. It makes a beautiful little heart cookie that is wonderful for Valentines Day. It makes a perfect little Christmas tree or wreathe for the holidays. It makes cute little flowers or stars or just fun shapes that are not anything in particular. I highly recommend this cookie maker. It's so easy to use and kind of fun. The possiblities are endless.

Today I received my Atlas Deluxe Stainless Steel Biscuit Maker and I am very pleased with the results. I want to say that I bought this item for an excellent price at amazon.com.

There is a wide range of styles for all occasions.The Atlas Deluxe Stainless Steel Biscuit Maker comes with easy instructions on how to use the product and even comes with a cookie recipe. It dismantles very easy for a quick cleaning, and is easy to use. And to top it off, it comes with a 3 year guarantee.

The American Biscuit MakerMar 19, 2002
By David Lindamood
Okay, a biscuit is actually a cookie, but don't tell the kids that! What goes better than kids and cookies? This little cookie maker and kids and cookies !! The ease of operation, the consistent output, the great looking product, and lastly, the great tasting finished cookie, make this a fun afternoon project. With the 20 different cookie shapes, there is always something new to try. The included recipes also provide different things to try, or just stick with the basic great tasting sugar cookie. Clean-up is also a breeze, with the take apart approach, nothing is hard to get clean and dry. A great product, to make great tasting and great looking cookies, if you want, call them biscuits. The family and office will sure be glad you got this item.

Savvy ShopperJan 11, 2009

Amazon should omit the words "Stainless Steel" from the item name - most parts are made of aluminum.
Despite the above statement, this is not a problem for me since I do not put it in the dishwasher. Hand washing and towel-drying promptly after use will avoid the formation of dull, powdery aluminum oxide on surfaces - which would be transferred to the cookies when next used. I put NOTHING made from aluminum in the dishwasher for this reason. On the issue of aluminum and foods - I am far more concerned about the repeated use of "Teflon" (which is fatal to some household pets when overheated) and its long-term effects AND, unlike cookware, this item is not heated when used.
This is the best cookie press I have ever used. It is an excellent design, has rugged construction and solidly interlocking parts, and comes with 20 different die plates. Coupled with selectable 2 sizes (1 or 2 ratchets per single press of the handle) this gives a large selection of options for the final appearance of your cookies. You simply hold the barrel in place with one hand and press the lever with the other hand to form perfect cookies.
DO NOT discard the box. It shows each die along with the resulting cookie shape.
Buy this cookie press after a thorough comparison with others. Plastic cookie presses often break sooner rather than later. - This one is up to the job.

 Very disappointedDec 25, 2002
The lever on this is very cheap; every 2nd or 3rd cookie it failed to catch and I had to reset it. It was incredibly frustrating to use and I eventually gave up. I'm sending mine back.
