would this be good for blending butter into flour..mixing scone or biscuit dough?

To be honest I think it would I never thought to try.I just use the same old pastry blender I have had for ever.

Hi! I'm sure that it would work for that - however - the dough might stick and you might spend a lot of time picking it off the masher...

It might be difficult with a hand mixer, but I assume it would work if it had a strong motor! This dough is very soft-- not dense and stringy like wheat dough. Doubt quote me on that, though :)

I have not had any trouble with this mixer in any kind of dough. I find the thin blades makes it easier to use in thicker dough.Have made lots of cookies with this blender, does anything I have used it for, simple love it.

The only cookie recipe I made with the Rikon Cookie Press was spritz. It worked fine. I made sure everything was screwed on tight. The dough was at room temperature.

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 :-)

Sorry, I am not well versed on flours as I am just learning myself! Using different flours, mixing etc to try for cookies and breads.

Found the mixer to work great w/cookie dough but it may struggle some w/heavy bread dough. Love the product. JP Jr.

Hi Karen. If the bread dough is light, not heavy or stiff, it will do well. If it is chewy and hard you wont be able to mix it or knead it. Regards

Not sure about cookie dough, but I use this for cake batter and it was fine. The lowest setting is extraordinarily powerful, so I mix the dry and wet mixes together with a spatula a bit before I use this product, because the dry mix might go flying up if your mixing bowl isn't big enough.

yes, it is good for all kinds of batters, especially since it has the handle and a non-skid ring on the bottom that prevents it from sliding on the counter top. Good for biscuit mixing since you don't want it to be mixed too smoothly.

Also recipe for cookies makes a difference. I use butter in my batter - cookies are amazing

I agree with Breville on this. I mix bread dough with this all the time. More than enough power to do the job.

I usually use mine to mix cookie dough or batter for pastries. I mixed a cinnamon roll type dough with it, and there were no problems. I like mine very much - and pleased with the overall quality. I'm not a professional baker, so I didn't think a $300 stand mixer was worth my time...which is why this appealed to me. I don't like the pouring shield though - it got in the way, so I just removed it.

If you're mixing a very small quantity of dough or batter it doesn't mix very well but if you're making a couple of loaves of yeast bread (which I'd call a medium quantity of dough) it works fine. Bake two and pop one in the freezer or give it to a neighbor!

I have used it in baking but I always mixed it with real butter sometimes as little as a tablespoon more frequently 50/50. I use it more to make my casseroles like squash and sweet potato. I have only baked cake and cobbler with it. The package insert has a few eclipse. Vicki

I think it would be too big for cookie dough, and since I've never made biscuits, I probably shouldn't answer that. It seems that it would be a better size for biscuits than cookies. It is awesome for cutting through hard ice cream though! Sorry I couldn't be more helpful!

WE haven't made biscuits with this flour yet. we use it as a wheat flour replacer. We have made several cakes and the turn out really good. a little dense, but the taste is good.
