Mixing Guide

Cookie dough is one of the thickest doughs to mix. Make it easier by following these tips:

• Use a large mixing bowl so that the

ingredients spread out for easier mixing.

• Have butter or margarine at room

temperature.

Mixing Tips

• 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.
