When I was little my Mum made these shortbread cookies, I used to really enjoy helping her press the dough using the cookie press. I also enjoyed choosing different shapes of the cookie press disks, two of them looked like flowers, one was a Christmas tree, another like an ornament, and there were 2 more that I never liked!
