Cookie dough is one of the thickest
doughs to mix. Make it easier by
following these tips:
• Use a large mixing bowl so that the
ingredients spread out for easier
mixing.
• Have butter or margarine at room
temperature.
Cookie Dough Mixing Tips
• Add ingredients one at a time and
thoroughly mix after each addition.
• Add flour one cup at a time.
• To add chips or nuts to a very thick
dough or batter, we recommend
stirring them in by hand at the very
end of the recipe.
The following mixing guide is a suggestion for selecting mixing speeds for the
6 speed mixers. Begin on speed 1 and increase to desired speed depending
on the recipe consistency.
