Problem with my new cookie press!! Help!!!!?!

Question: What's up with my cookie press?? The dough sticks to itself in the tube, and won't get on the cookie sheet. Here's the recipe I used:

1 cup unsalted butter
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 cup confectioners sugar
2 1/4 cup flour
salt

I'm going bananas; allegedly, this is a real fancy pants William-Sonoma "trigger" type press -- so what's wrong with me??

try adding a little more flour and see if that helps.

maybe lightly spray the inside with Pam?
Or make sure your dough is very cold...warmer tends to stick easier
