There must be an easy (relatively anyway) way to mix stiff cookie dough - other than going out and buying a heavy duty electric mixer like a KitchenAid. I mixed up 4 batches of the dough this morning - by hand of course - 2 choco chip and 2 peanut butter to put in the freezer and then bake next week. It took me well over twice the time I used to be able to do it in, simply because these hands and arms just don't work very efficiently any longer, and they are mostly numb a great deal of the time too. But I managed to get it done - even tho now my arms and hands are so sore that they feel like I've been lifting weights. The weights would have been easier, I think.
So - any helpful tips will be welcome. The only thing I can think of, is to let somebody else do the mixing. Store bought IS NOT an option.
