Dutch term or phrase: spuitdeeg
Context is a product information sheet for 'bakkersvet'. Various items listed e.g. product description, use, ingredients, packaging, storage conditions, shelf life. Under 'Toepassing':

Uitsluitend bestemd voor de verwerking in de bakkerij en/of in de professionele keuken. Transo[=merk]-vet is neutraal van smaak. Het vet leent zich erg goed voor mechanische verwerking. Geschikt voor diverse soorten zand-, wals- en spuitdegen.

Spuitdeeg - possibly choux pastry (the kind you can push through a nozzle to make various shapes)?? Or is there a more general term?

soft dough
Explanation:
Degen clearly refers to the dough stage and not to the end product. I'm not sure if there's a standard term for 'spuitdeeg' in English, but I would suggest 'soft dough'.

Choux is a cooked soft dough, used esp. for eclairs and profiteroles.

SOFT DOUGH.— Soft-batter cookies have a high moisture content and, therefore, require a greater percentage of eggs to give them structure. The desired finished product is soft and moist and should be stored or packaged in a container with a tight-fitting cover. Cookies included in this category are dropped cookies of all sorts and brownies (butterscotch and chocolate).

Drop cookies: some of the most popular cookies are made from dough that is simply dropped from a spoon onto the baking sheet. Drop cookies can also be piped from pastry bag into swirls and other desired shapes. One of the most popular type is the Chocolate Chip Cookie.

Clean sweep on the dough front! Soft dough works fine, especially in contrast with stiff dough (walsdeeg). Thanks!
