Mixing Guide
NOTE: Dough hooks should only be used on speeds 3 through 6.
Cookie dough is one of the thickest
doughs to mix. Make it easier by
following these tips:
• Use a large mixing bowl so that ingre-
dients 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.
