Speaking of my stand mixer, it is definitely worth investing in a heavy-duty one if you plan to do a lot of cookie baking. They mix through thick cookie doing better than any hand mixer, and you can crank out dozens and dozens in no time. I’ve been using the same KitchenAid Artisan Stand Mixer since I got it in 2003, and it is still going strong.
