Suggestions:

Don't expect blue cookies from blue jello, they turn out greenish.
If you use a flower mold on your cookie press, put the top half of a gumdrop in the middle of each flower. Other shapes look good sprinkled with colored sugar or candy sprinkles (available in cake decorating section). Dough should be at room temperature when using the cookie press.
