how do you like it for making cookie dough?

Its a MUST to add the wet ingredients 1st and if you add to much flour at once you will trip the automatic shut off. Also there is booklet that explains which "blade" to use for what kind of dough. But if you learn it's quirks it works well. I do wish it was a little bigger so that it could make bigger batches.

I love it, have had mine for 3~4 years. I use it for my biscuits, fresh noodles and bread dough. It is excellent.

I haven't tried it for dough, but I would imagine so. The cookies (?) would be pretty big.

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.

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.

Hi Linda, i live in Perú and i only prepare cookies, the dough has to be very soft, enough to let it go out through the small slots of the disks. If its too dry its not easy and dough will not go out. Hope it will help you

I use it for cakes, muffins, pancakes, cookies, brownies, quick breads, etc. with great success. I do not like the results for yeasted breads or for pastry doughs (pie crust, etc.) very much though - I would stick to bread flour or all purpose flour for those.

Use the dough hook for cookie dough. It works just fine. You might have to mix for a bit longer. I'm 73 and love the fact the mixer is light weight, stores on top of a cabinet and the bowl is light enough to allow me to pour and push things out with my limited strength. Pat H. Green Bay

The Indians cook with it and it comes out fine...so do I. But it is best not to use high temps if using it to fry/ sauté. I haven't made cookies with it 'cause I'm dieting, but I think they would be delicious.

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

I use a tablespoon size scoop and vary the cookie size by controlling the amount of dough that exceeds the scoop itself. A scoop full that is leveled off will produce a very small cookie, less than 2". A rounded scoop will make a much larger cookie, greater than 2"

I've used it just like regular flour. I made pizzelle cookies for Christmas and they turned out fine, cookies too. I also made pancakes with it.

I've never had any problem. I use it for cookie dough and it works great, no issues.

I haven't tried cookie dough yet although it should be OK since the mold can handle 450/F+ degrees. Choosing the best cookie recipe, considering batter consistency,which should be light, is the major challenge. Added chips,nuts or fruit might cause fracturing when unmolding unless they are ground finely before mixing into batter. Cook times will probably be longer than normal due to silicone's poor browning performance. Eventhough it's a silicone mold, I'd still give it a spritz of non stick Pam. I'll be trying batter when I can free up a mold. Can't get there if you don't try. Good Luck !

I just purchased this mixer, works great for cookie baking. Sounds like you need a heavier duty mixer.

My wife has used it to easily make salsa, soup, green smoothies, and nut butter. She hasn't tried to make dough with it yet.

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.
