A cylinder and plunger were fabricated and used to apply moderate pressure to produce more uniform doughs prior to rolling out, cutting, and baking sugar-snap cookies by AACC method 10-52. Use of the cylinder and plunger reduced the standard error by approximately 29% and reduced the number of rebakes required due to lack of agreement between duplicates by 97%.
