Do they make electric cookie presses anymore? There used to be a couple out
there; one made be Wearever called the Super Shooter and another made by
Sears. The only place I see you can buy one of those is Ebay.
If they still sell them, where? Are they any good. I want to make Spritz
cookies. I have a lot of trouble using the manual presses. Does the dough
have to be at a certain temp in order for them to work???

I have a Wilton battery powered cookie press that I got at Albertson's a
couple of years ago. Deni makes one, too.
As long as you're online, why not do a web search?

I had a Super Shooter and it went straight into the trash. It shot dough
all over the damned place, but rarely on the pan.

I too had trouble with cookie presses until I got a good one. I had been
buying the small, all metal kind. The discs would bend instead of pushing
out the dough.

Then I asked my friend about the one she had. It was made of plastic and
metal. I got one like that and it served me well for years. Then it wore
out. Can't remember exactly what broke on it. Got a replacement one made
by Wilton. It works just fine.

I've used the Bonjour "Cookie Factory" cookie press (uses two
C-batteries) for two or three years now. I'm VERY happy it with it. I
make cheese straws with this cookie press, and it's definitely saves my
hands from abuse (IYKWIM). The cheese straw dough is very dense, so the
cookie press won't extrude the dough if it's (the dough) is not at room
temperature. My one complaint is the cookie press 'eats' batteries, so
I purchased some rechargeable C-batteries just for this gizmo. But
otherwise, I really do like this cookie press. And believe me, I've
searched and searched for non-manual cookie presses, and so far, this is
the only one that's fairly decent (IMNSHO).
