Immigrant swedes and coconut in midcentury? My grandma was not normally adventurous with food. She boiled veggies to death. And lutefisk.

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

Because books.
My mom makes cookie press cookies every Christmas, but she uses the butter pretzel recipe instead of the spritz, and they are little tree-shaped bites of buttery heaven.
