Does it handle cookie dough well? I noticed it doesn't come with cookie paddles. What attachment are you using for cookie dough?

Yes, this handles cookie dough well. The Dough hook is the best attachment to use for cookie dough with this particular mixer.

No, it comes with the three shown: whisk, beater and dough hook. I use the dough hook for cookies.

I have the medium sized one but I use it for cookie dough. The cookies come out about 2-2/12" round. If that helps any. I guess you could use the medium sized on for the cupcakes and do a couple of test tries. Maybe 1 scoop or maybe 2?? Sorry I wish I could be of more use. Best of luck!! It's the greatest product and the dough comes right out of it!! I'm sure the batter would too! Have you tried looking online for cupcake scoop sizes? And what they recommend? Good luck!! GA

I just purchased this machine and the dough hook is different than the 6 qt. which I also have. So in regard to your question, I just tried attaching the hook to this new machine and encountered no difficulties.What exactly doesn't fit? I'm assuming you're lining up the groves so I'm a little confused.Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

If you use the cookie paddles you should be fine. However, when using the bread dough hook, you will run into problems if you don't have enough flour in there.

Yes. I have used it for small batches. I do use the cookies scrappers that I ordered along with the cookie paddles. That helps keep the dough moving.

I generally do not use this paddle for anything stiffer than the standard "Creaming Method." It works well for that, but I can't speak about a tough dough. Just make sure the paddle, like any KitchenAid accessory, has been properly adjusted for bowl height (See your KitchenAid manual for procedure or the online manual you can print out.)

It handles pizza doughs and bread doughs. For cut-out cookie doughs, I would recommend sprinkle some flour on the pizza pan's cloth and roll them off of it.

The only thing I make is cheese straws and the motor is not strong enough to push dough thru. Therefore I have never been able to use it. Sorry�...

No It comes ONLY with the thin wire beaters which I was not expecting. They aren't strong enough to beat cookie dough.

I've not used it for bread dough, if that's what you have in mind, I have only used it for batters & whipping creams & cookie dough, but it is a very powerful little mixer & so may be good for that too

I use mine to knead dough, make cookies and whip cream as well as many other tasks. It makes great almond butter as well. without a plastic blade i would not knead dough or make cookies -pie crust an be made wth a steel blade but the plastic blade works better. You will need to knead the dough more once it has been mixed well as the processor does more mixing than kneading.

Well I did not use it to make dough yet but ice cream! It is an amazing and powerfull machine (325w), which I really believe it is going to do this work easily! For for it!

I purchased the side swipe attachment and really like it. With the 6 quart mixer bowl, I found the paddle just didn't get all the ingredients off the bottom of the bowl. This attachment works great and I use it all the time.

Whoa...may be the mixer head connecter insertion. Have you made "adjustments" for the height with the tool? Might be some of the problem, too. Mine seems to be somewhat loose at insertion with any of the beater attachments, which made me leery at the beginning; but it whips up double cookie batches with no problem. I make Divinity with it and whips it up great without any over-heat. I never tried it for bread dough, as I like to knead bread myself. I would call the 800 customer service number and talk to them about it, but first try your adjustment tool. Sorry you having problems with it...maybe I need to whip up a batch of French Bread to see how mine does...big snow storm here and roads are un-drivable in Champaign County in IL...so might just get it out and make some bread! :o) Let me know if the adjusting tool helped.

Found the mixer to work great w/cookie dough but it may struggle some w/heavy bread dough. Love the product. JP Jr.
