Mixing Tips

Cookie dough is one of the thickest doughs to mix. Make it easier by following these tips:
• Use a large mixing bowl, like the one provided, to spread out ingredients for easier mixing.
• Have butter or margarine at room temperature.
• Add ingredients one at a time, thoroughly mixing after each addition.
• Add flour one cup at a time.
• If adding chips or nuts to a very thick dough or batter, we recommend stirring them in by hand at the very end of the recipe.
