I made some terrific chocolate chip cookies today.

I used the new beater blade on the mixer. Dang, is that thing slick

I didn't have to scrape down the sides of the bowl once. It does it
all itself.

I just might bake cookies more often.

Here's the recipe I used. They are moist and chewy.

I love cooking with wine.
Sometimes I even put it in the food.

Stop tempting me, woman! Hey, my blade does not work as well as yours,
I have to scrape the sides of my bowl.

You can tweak your bowl height stop so that there is less blade
clearence... user manual should explain. You want to lessen the space
but there should be no physical contact or the scraping blades will
wear much quicker.

That's the only way I'll do cookie dough. What's the point of wearing out
your wrist and fingers trying to use a spoon because some chuckle-headed
chef says it makes a better cookie if you work the cookie dough with a
spoon?

Same thing with meatloaf. I use that kind of attachment for my Kitchen
Aid mixer to make meatloaf. Everything I put into it gets distributed
evenly, and I don't end up with raw meat all over my hands. I see my
method as having a positive benefit. I use the same method for making
tuna/salmon patties, too.
