I'm not a big baker, but I like to make cookies from scratch occasionally. Before me moved a year ago, my mixer was in storage because we had no room for it. And since we moved, it has just sat on the kitchen counter.
I made cookies twice this week (I blame nesting) and OMG it is soooo easy and the cleanup is a snap. No more sore arms from hand-creaming butter and sugar and mixing in the dry ingredients. I might be making a lot more baked goods this winter!!!
