I’ve had this mixer for nearly twelve months now. It’s a 250 watt, 4.5 quart mixer, and though it was a bit of a splurge when I bought it, it has actually turned out to be more than worth it. Before getting this mixer, I didn’t do much baking. …

Wilton Cookie Master Plus Cordless Cookie Press
Cookies are fun to make, and for me, one of the joys of anytime, is mixing the dough, and shaping the pretty cookies in hopefully artistic works of art, to be consumed by hungry friends.
