A new KitchenAid 5 Qt mixer showed up at my doorstep on Friday. (Thanks Flora!) Being a diligent engineer I obviously had to give it a test run as quickly as possible. Even for making something as simple as chocolate chip cookies, it's obviously far superior to the old electric hand mixer. Can't wait to try some more difficult items.
Yes, these are definitely a bit more "brown" than usual... I tried a recipe with primarily brown sugar, plus a higher proportion of bread flour. It has the advantage of making them a little more chewy.
