Mixing cookie dough by hand vs stand mixer

fdlewenstein

There is no question in my mind (and I do a lot of baking) that I would not bake without my mixer. I love kitchenAid and they have many different sizes. The mini size is great because its light and takes up a little less space. Although, it has less power so you have to crank up the speed sometimes. I think with a mixer you can be more productive and I find I am more patient. The mixer does the work to cream and fluff!
