Yum! I've always wanted to play with a cookie press. Maybe I'll have to borrow your and make some of these yummy cookies. Do you like raspberry jello best? What is another good flavor?

I have tried to go Christmas-y with the tree shaped cookie and green (lime) jello. Tastes fine, but green always looks a little odd when it is browned on top. Honestly, I haven't tried much else. I bet peach would be tasty. Then there are the regular butter recipes. But for kids- Jello is much tastier.
