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. | |||||

|     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.

| 3013.4 | Cookie-scoop = mini ice cream scoop? | JUMP4::JOY | Get a life! | Wed May 01 1991 04:09 | 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.
