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.
