Even after adding an egg (2 total), increasing the milk to 2 tbsp, increasing the vanilla to 1 tsp, and adding an extra 2 tbsp of butter, the dough was too thick and sticky to make it through my press. I ended up rolling them into balls, pressing them down with the bottom of a glass, then dusting them with powdered sugar right out of the oven. (I used dutch process cocoa, though that shouldn't make a difference in this recipe.) Make these cookies - they're delicious - just don't try to put them through your cookie press.

The dough was too dry so I took the advice of others and added 4 tsp of milk. Now the dough won't come out of the press. It tastes good but doesn't look good. I just rolled them into balls and then rolled some out and let my kids cut cookies into them. :( Boo I was looking forward to this.

I found this dough to be much to stiff to go through a cookie press. I added a total of 2.5 TBLS of milk and 1 tsp on baking powder and then it worked great in the cookie press. Great texture. Almost like a brownie.

while the cookies taste wonderful, and the recipe ends up yeilding a lot of cookies, I can only give 3 stars because I had to ad fluids to the recipe. while I was mixing it according to the directions, I noticed that the batter was quite thick and dry, too much so in fact. I simply added some extra milk and shortening until it was the right consistency. I will totally make these again

I give it three stars, because without some changes they don't work out. I followed the advice of previous posters. I used 2 eggs, 2 tablespoons of milk and a teaspoon of vanilla. They were spectacular! They really do taste like brownies. I would recommend trying this recipe BUT only with the changes previously mentioned.
