Oh yeah, my mom always made those at Christmas! I just remembered. She called the device a "cookie press."

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
She called them spritzles but I think she made that up.
If she made it up, so did all my elderly german ladies.

Swedish variation on it, I guess. But hers were definitely coconut. Which strikes me odd.

I have a cookie press. I bought it and then used it once, and it's been sitting on the top shelf of my cupboard ever since.

Congratulations, Zen!
I went for drinks with a coworker tonight and learned that she's planning to leave the org. in a couple of months, probably, which does improve my chances of getting hired permanently...
