Sprinkle them with jimmies or colored sugar. (Great for the kids to do this part!)
Watch them closely while baking and don't brown them.
Other suggestions and comments:
It might be a good idea to put the dough in the refrigerator for five or ten minutes to help with the consistency in the cookie press.
If you want to make chocolate cookies, then add 2 oz. melted cooled, unsweetened chocolate into the butter mixture.
