Can I mix cookie dough with a handheld portable mixer, or do I need a stand mixer?
Most cookie recipes can be made with a portable mixer although you may need to work a little harder. Most portable mixers are less powerful than stand mixers, so when it comes to adding the last of the flour, you’ll need to stir it in with a wooden spoon. Whether you’re using a portable or a stand mixer, begin stirring in the flour by hand once the mixer starts to strain.
