Ooooo......I love Macaroons. 

Michelle, I was afraid that Pampered Chef Cookie Press was going to be a bust.  Even the Cuisanart electric has gotten bad reviews.  The one to buy is the Kuhn Rikon featured on the Williams Sonoma website.  You can even watch the video.  It's not electric but the cookie plates are stainless steel.  $29.95 (Google to see if you can find it cheaper.  This one comes with decorating tips too!)  Leave it to the Swiss to make a better cookie press after all they make those great Swiss knives.

BTW Michelle,  My kitchen is NOT a curse free zone.  Cooking and baking mishaps are grounds for cursing!
