Does this mixer work well with stiff cookie dough or bread dough?

I've made a couple of batches of chocolate chip cookies and it did very well. Yeast biscuits provided no problem with it. The only time it bogged down was when I was making fondant.

I don't know because I've not made either of those things yet. However, it is pretty powerful so imagine it would work well.

I haven't used it for bread dough or stiff cookie dough. I would have to say, no, it wouldn't work well for those purposes. I've used mine for cheesecake and similar consistancies.

Yes! It actually does a good job! I bought it for making cookies and it performs well!

Purchase the electric mixer. This beater is for looser batters - such as scrambled eggs, French toast...any liquid. It won't work for anything stiffer than pancake batter.

I just made a huge batch of thick oatmeal cookies and it worked great. I don't know about bread but I would not suggest it since it does not work with the dough hook, just the cookie paddles and wire whips.

I doubt it would work very well with cookie or biscuit dough. The shape of the utensil is optimized for digging frozen deserts out of a container. It is shaped like a small garden spade and it does the job it was designed to do very well. You would be much better off with one of the stainless steel hemispherical food scoops with the bale that sweeps across when you squeeze the handle if you want to work with cookie or biscuit dough.

Yes, I had no problems with it. I actually bought it as a 2nd mixer. I have a big Kitchen Aide and needed another because I bake so much. I used it quite often until I accidentally knocked the hand held part off the counter and it broke into about 3 pieces. :(

I believe so but the reviews I read when purchasing this mixer said there were multiple problems if you were mixing bread dough. Their customer service even asked me if I was making bread.

Yes it will work well making dough for doughnuts, just use the bread mixer parts instead of the blender parts. :) It is great for mixing anything really. I love my new mixer and it make's my life so much more easier.

I normally would use my kitchen aid 6 qt. mixer because of the quantity of the dough and the heavy consistency. I don't think these dough hooks will reach through all the cookie dough. I would say no don't use this hand mixer for cookie dough.

I have not used this for dough. I don't believe it would do a good job of bread dough or cookie dough. It is probably too small for dough also.

I generally do not use this paddle for anything stiffer than the standard "Creaming Method." It works well for that, but I can't speak about a tough dough. Just make sure the paddle, like any KitchenAid accessory, has been properly adjusted for bowl height (See your KitchenAid manual for procedure or the online manual you can print out.)

I would have to say, No. I wouldn't recommend this mixer for bread dough or anything else for that matter. It just stopped working on me and I found a lot of other people who had the same experience. I went and bought a Kenmore hand mixer from Sears for much less $$ and it is still working great.

Yes, it works just fine for both frosting and for cookies. Use the stiff frosting, if you are making it.

I highly recommend it! Just add flour slowely but a must if using highly speeds. The only thing you can't use it with is the dough hook but that is slow speed. I consider it an essential piece of the mixer.

This mixer does come with a dough hook and I have made bread several times. It does a great job with making dough. I truly love this mixer. I make everything in it, including buttercream for cake decorating, buttercream fondant turns out wonderfully. It works well for everything I have every used it for. My only complaint is that I have the 4 1/2 quart bowl and wish I had the 5 qt -- mine is just not quite big enough. But it works so well even after 26 years of constant use, I can't see getting rid of it for that reason

I don't think this food processor is a good fit for using it to mix cookie dough simply because it doesn't have the blades very close to the bottom of the container you are likely to have partially mixed cookie dough with flour & other small remnants left over on the bottom. I haven't tried using this machine for this particular activity but for chopping I have some not so fine pieces of food that sometimes needs a hands on approach to remedy the situation.Hope this helps :-)

I ordered it because I wanted to mix my bread dough but honestly i would not recommend it for that. It's good for regular cake dough but when the dough is heavy like for the bread one, the dough instead of mixing is sticking...
