Cookie Dough Mixing Tips
Cookie dough is one of the thickest doughs to mix. Make it easier by following these tips:
•Use a large mixing bowl so that ingre- dients spread out for easier mixing.
•Have butter or margarine at room temperature.
• Add ingredients one at a time and thoroughly mix after each addition.
• Add flour one cup at a time.
• To add chips or nuts to a very thick dough or batter, we recommend stirring them in by hand at the very end of the recipe.
