Let’s talk about mixing.
You’ve got the pouch, your fat of choice is melting on the stove, and your oven is preheating. But now you’re staring at your mixing bowl wondering: Do I really need a hand mixer for this?
Short answer: No.
Long Answer: You can absolutely make our cookie mix without any fancy equipment—just a spoon or fork and a little patience. But there are some differences in texture and ease that are worth knowing.
Here’s how to get the best results either way:
Using a Hand Mixer
- Best for speed and even mixing.
- Incorporates ingredients quickly and creates a smooth, cohesive dough.
- Especially helpful if your butter or nut butter is on the firmer side.
Using a Fork or Spoon
- Totally doable, especially with melted fat and room-temp wet ingredients.
- Go slow and be thorough. Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl as you mix.
- You’re looking for no dry spots and a soft, scoopable dough that holds its shape.
Pro Tips for Both Methods:
- Let your melted butter or coconut oil cool for 1–2 minutes before adding.
- If your dough feels too sticky to scoop, chill it in the fridge for 10–15 minutes.
- If it’s too crumbly, add liquid (water or milk) 1 tsp at a time until it comes together.
Whether you're using a hand mixer or mixing by hand, this cookie dough was made to be flexible and forgiving. No matter how you get there, you’re on your way to freshly baked cookies that feel homemade in the best way.
