Unsung Hero

This is Maisie.

 

 

I don't normally name my small kitchen appliances, but after Daddy pointed out how much work she had done, I decided she deserved her very own blog post. And, if she was going to have her own blog post, she needed a name.

 

Does Maisie look tired? She should be. In the space of the last three days (one of which I was at work all day and which shouldn't really count), she mixed double batches of the following:

 

Graham Cracker Cookies

Vanilla Wafer Cookies

Crisp Lemon Sugar Cookies

Mocha Crackle Cookies

Chunky Drop Cookies

Soft Ginger Puffs

Mom's Molasses Cookies

Pudding Sugar Cookies

Cranberry Cashew Jumbles

Chocolate Snowballs

Vanilla Chip Cherry Cookies

Chewy German Chocolate Cookies

Lemon Oatmeal Cookies

Fruitcake Cookies

Ginger Thins

Jeweled Coconut Drops

Spice Cookies

Chocolate Peppermint Cookies

and

a quadruple batch of Peanut Butter Cookies

 

...all without overheating once. However much extra flour I added, she just kept plowing through. Pretty impressive, since this isn't the most expensive beater out there - I have killed more than my fair share, so I tend to buy those in the cheaper range. If you're looking for a hand mixer to get you through the holidays, though, I highly recommend getting one of Maisie's siblings!

 

P.S. If I give you cookies for Christmas, pretend you are surprised.
