Is the motor strong enough to handle a recipe for cookies that is primarily just butter, sugar and flour?

H-E double hockey sticks YEAH, it does. This bad boy has some MEGA torque. I mangle the beaters all the time and this thing will just keep on trucking. I've had it doing so much work that I had it on 9 and it was going to speed of 1, I do a sugar cookie recipe that's basically (not giving away any secrets!) 1 cup of sugar a stick and a half of butter and 2.5 cups of flour. You can beat it all the way to the end. I always mix in chocolate chunks with it, but that bends the wires sometimes.

I have no idea, but I'd think that if the cookie was easily cracked, or smashed, and you don't due large amounts each time that it might work. Good luck.

I would say yes. I make cookies and pancakes and all have turned out fine. I haven't done it yet, but I would not be afraid to try.

It will handle it beautifully. Mine has handled about 12 to 14 cups of flour and no problem at all. I usually bake 4 loaves at a time. The Bosch has a strong motor, plus a transmission. It's a good machine.

It is not a no-stick, Teflon-type iron. However, one application of oil, butter, or Pam works for one whole batch of cookies.

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.

Yes, but only on the very fine setting, and then very slowly if you are grinding by hand. If you need flour that fine, you should consider motorizing.

It will handle some types of dough, just remember what it is designed to do and that is food processing. I have read comments that it will not handle heavy tasks. It is not built for heavy tasks as a steady diet. It is true that if you are going to use it for heavy tasks, then buy one made for that purpose. Don't do as some and buy this for the price and then complain about how they break it. It is a simple processor that will from time to time handle tough jobs. Don't be cheap and then complain about the product, use it for its intended purpose instead.

According to my wife it handles frosting quite easily.....also handles heavy dough very well...it is a workhorse at 800 watts.

No. Slow, or anything close, is NOT something this machine can do. Even level 1 is fast enough that it was difficult to keep all ingredients in the large bowl. Another noteworthy issue, is that on the bottom of one of the beaters is a small tip which does not allow the beater to reach the very bottom of the mixing bowl, therefore, creaming butter and sugar is difficult during hand-held method. This machine does not possess the ability to cream butter and sugar in stand-alone mode unless the quantity is VERY large.

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

Yes, and I have made a lot of great ice cream. However, I have had to do it manually; with the crank. The motor broke after about five uses.

My 5 Speed Kitchen Aid hand held can handle the oatmeal cookies with chocolate chips...the 9 speed should be able to as well!

I use it to mix my heaviest oatmeal cookie recipe (4 C. oats/4C. flour) and it does OK.

No, I don't think it could be used to make plain cookies as it needs a patterned disc at the end.

I use it mainly for vegetable and meat no problem there, I have not use it on bread dough or cookie dough.

This was a gift for one of my foodie friends. He's only used it for making homemade pizza from scratch, dough and all, and LOVES it. Doubt that he's used it for cookies though. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

Well my wife use this to roll out Fondant for cakes, cookies should be about the same consistency. It is made for these things. It is heavy enough and easy to clean.
