I bought the Bonjour Cookie Factory for the last Christmas thinking that at least this time I can make better festive cookies effortlessly. I was got caught wrong again and this too proved to be a disaster. I bought this expecting to serve better than the traditional manual press and my previous Wilton Pro Ultra Cookie Press. The Bonjour Cookie Factory is a well packaged cookie press with lot of interesting accessories that gives you the notion of an ideal cookie machine.
The Bonjour took the customers to a higher level of deception by positioning itself as an all in one gadget that provides you with everything required for baking cookie except the dough. But this is a crap and do not waste the money on this. I was attracted to the battery functionality and thought that it would be easy for my weak and aging hands to squeeze the dough out of the press easily. It would be better to rely on the conventional press than to go by this battery powered equipment.
I find that this press works according to its own whims and fancies without any consistency in the performance. Sometimes it gets into action quickly and there are times when this needs long warming up session. I thought there was something wrong with the motor and even got it inspected. The fact is that the motor is kind of ok only but it doesn't seem to be fuelled by the right battery. This is supposed to be activated by the 2C batteries, but that doesn't seem to happen. I even tried to run it with new battery and still it showed poor results. One of my friends suggested me to put the battery only just before the use and this too failed.
Even if it runs, this lethargic press does not take enough cookie dough and gets stick in between the process. The plastic body is flimsy and cannot withstand pressure and impact. This comes with two tubes that can be used for making regular and jumbo sized cookies, but then they are not of the right thickness. It is true that it can be operated using one hand, but then this calls for lot of patience. Though the makers suggest holding the press for 2 seconds for the dough to drop down, I would say that it has to be put on hold for at least 15 seconds.
