I piped it thru my cookie press which can be transformed into a piper by attaching tips. It doesn't matter if they don't look perfect cuz they bake up fine & the taste is delicious! We even love 'em plain! Didn't have butter but used half marg & half shortening instead. Still turned out great. For V-day, plan on pressing it thru the heart cookie press, indenting the top to fill w/preserves, & baking. Thx Giada for the DELICIOUS, quick-n-easy, new cookie recipe!

I read some reviews about the cookie not going thru the pastry bag. Another option is to use a cookie press. I also saw that freezing the dough overnight, then letting them thaw to softness completely changes the way they taste. In other words, when I baked one batch right after making the doguh, they didn't have the bakery taste. I froze the rest of the dough for 2 days until I needed it. I thawed it completely, and when they were baked and sandwiched with jam (and dipped in choclolate the taste was complete different and just like the bakery. I think that's called "mellowing" the dough...letting it sit for a day or two before baking. You can also let it sit in a cool place for a couple of days before baking...it doesn't have to go in the freezer. I loved them.

i'm a terrible baker, but these cookies were so yummy and easy to bake. i stirred in some mini chocolate chips for chocolate chip cookies. i personally like my cookies a little more crispy, so next time i'll be sure to press them a bit more. but these are great if you love soft cookies. i also noticed the dough getting a little soft while i pressed them into rounds. i just put them in the fridge for about 10 mins to firm up again before popping them into the oven, and they turned out just fine.

After reading the reviews for these cookies, I decided to try them, in hopes of coming up with a solution to the spreading problem that most of you have been experiencing. First, I creamed the butter cold, with the sugar, insuring that it wouldn't soften too much, which I thought might be the reason for the spreading. After I piped the dough into perfect stars, I chilled them in the fridge for two hours. They were so firm, you could have played ping pong with them, and they still would have retained their shape! I was positive the cookies would hold their shape, but they spread.
I decided to try again, this time freezing them for two hours. I preheated the oven once again (I forgot to mention that I only preheated it for 10 minutes, to insure that the oven wasn't too hot, and checked the cookies after 15 minutes..they had spread. On my third try, I decided to add a little more flour to the dough, and then chill it. No dice. I give up! Could anyone here who managed to keep the cookies in their perfect star shape, please enlighten us? : I would give this recipe 5 stars for the flavor, but I have to subtract 2 stars, -1 for time wasted -- as you take the time to fill the bag and pipe them, and it's all for naught. Another -1 for looking forward to beautiful stars (especially if you're having company but ending up with vanilla wafers.

Cookies looked wonderful on tv. I tried them the same day I saw them. Don't know what happened. They look more like silver dollars than stars. What did I do wrong? Tried them a second time and same results.
