Yup, Yup, it's a beast. I have the model that fits in a drawer which is really nice if you want it put away. I don't know if they still make this model or not but they are amazing. They are great for making bread and pizza crust which we do a lot of at my house.
I learned the hard way that when the dough is mightier than the mixer, the mixer will win. If you look closely at the picture below you can see the beater is actually twisted around because the mixer didn't stop. Those tines are supposed to be straight and they are twisted after making those cookies. I have a chocolate chip cookie dough recipe that makes about a million cookies and it's thick and tough. Shortly after this incident, I ordered their cookie paddles for about $20 and problem solved. They work beautifully. It's amazing what happens when you use the right tool for the job. |

I've had Kitchen Aid tilt head and bowl lift models as well as the Cuisinart. I got rid of them all and bought the Bosch Universal Plus. It is a great machine. It can do small batches or large batches of anything...cookie dough, bread dough, egg whites, etc. It is quiet, powerful, fast and easy to clean.

This is a great recipe. I use a scoop to make golf ball sized balls. I put them on a cookie sheet to freeze them and then put them in a bag. I bake a dozen at a time and they come beautifully. My husband likes to have a little something sweet in the morning and one of these does it. It makes a nice sized cookie. I don't add the extra water myself but that's a personal preference.
I have also made Ice Cream sandwiches out of these with a good vanilla ice cream. OMG. To die for. I put a scoop of ice cream between two cookies and froze them.
This machine makes bread making almost effortless. Some of the old school Italians look down at your for using machines to do anything. They think if you're not breaking your back making it your not as good a cook. Well, guess what? I'm not one of them! If I can do it with a machine that's what I'm going to do.
