3013.0. "Cookie-dropping machines?" by ASD::DIGRAZIA () Fri Apr 26 1991 17:57

	I wish to find a cookie dropping machine (for someone with
	aged hands...).  One of the restaurant-supply stores in
	Boston said something about a hand-operated machine that
	sold for about $1000 (a year ago), but somehow that seems
	like a lot for a gadget that plops cookie mix onto a sheet.

	I do not think I want a "cookie press", but I don't know
	anything about these gadgets, so maybe I do.

	Is there any kind of gadget that you load with cookie mix,
	and then either hand-crank or motor-crank to produce several
	dozen cookie portions?

	Regards, Robert.

	> Is there any kind of gadget that you load with cookie mix, > and then either hand-crank or motor-crank to produce several > dozen cookie portions? a cookie press with a simple fitting would suffice - and you can get one with a motor if you hunt around. If you are dealing with arthritis, you may want to get a battery powered press....under $100 for sure. Call Williams Sonoma in San Francisco and ask - they have EVERYTHING and it's good quality stuff...catalog mail house for yuppy cooks.
3013.2	Under $20, even!	CUPTAY::FARINA		`Mon Apr 29 1991 13:19`	7
	If you go with a cookie press and a simple fitting, as Diane suggests, you can, indeed, get one for under $100. If you live in the southern NH area, Kitchen, Etc. had them for about $17. Lechmere often has them, too. Susan

3013.4	Cookie-scoop = mini ice cream scoop?	JUMP4::JOY	Get a life!	`Wed May 01 1991 05:09`	9
	I'm not sure if this would be easy to use with arthritic hands, but I've also seen a "cookie scoop" that looks similar to an ice cream scoop but smaller. It has a lever on the side that when pushed/ slides the dough out into a ball-shaped drop on the cookie sheet. I believe William-Sonoma has them as well as other chef's catalogs. I've even seen them in the kitcehn shops in the malls in 2 different sizes. Debbie
