I received this kit a few days ago. I saw that a lot of reviewers do not like the recipe that comes with the product, so I just used my tried-and-true sugar cookie recipe. It turned out great. I mixed it for longer than the usual mixing cycle. The entire batch of cookies was eaten by the end of the day.

I want to start out saying that I totally agree with the only other rater of this product, who gave these cookie discs only one star, but I must clarify that it is the recipe that stinks not the discs. I used the melted butter as instructed and, yep, the cookies sucked. But, if you use a NORMAL recipe with "just-beyond-softened", room temperature butter added in with all the other dry ingredients, guess what - it turns the texture around and they taste like traditional sugar cookies. They are great discs once you get the right recipe. I just think the Philips test-kitchen geniuses need to go back to the drawing board and rethink the standard recipe, because no matter how many ways you introduce melted butter to the mix...just, no. Great discs though for a GOOD recipe!!

Love it. It is so easy to use and very easy to clean. Pasta is so much better than store bought. Glad I purchased it
