Shamrock Sugar Cookies

Bob and I were given a cookie press for a wedding present 6 1/2 years ago.  It is one of those gifts we only used one time.  I dug it out of the cupboard to give it another try.  But once I got started I remembered why we only used it once.  I am not very good at it.  I had a really hard time getting the cookie dough to stick to the pan.  Does anyone else have that problem?  I wanted to make shamrock sugar cookies with it and they turned out ok.  They were actually suposed to be mint flavored but Scarlett dumped the mint extract out along with the red food dye.

While I was making them Bob saw me getting stressed out because I couldn't get the cookie press to work and he asked why don't I just make chocolate chip cookies.  He says they taste better then all the new things I try and they always work.  I love chocolate chip cookies, but I like to try knew things.  What if I find something better?
