cookies

I love it for making cookies, but last night I used it to mash potatoes. (lazy me)

buttercream

pasta dough!!

toll house cookies. we make a lot of toll house cookies in our family--and they are much easier to make with the kitchenaid.

cookies for me

love my kitchenaid mixer, it's in use all the time~this looks pretty awesome!

I make gingerbread cookies every year during the holidays. The recipe I use makes a ton of sticky thick dough, and there is NO way I could mix it without my trusty KitchenAid.

My kitchenaid dough hook comes in handy when I try to get my husband to actually DO something in the kitchen! He's learned to make pizza dough so it's ready when I get home. But if there weren't a dough hook involved, it would NEVER happen!

(and as an aside, I picked up the Williams-Sonoma mini-bowl that makes the 6quart work as a 4quart. It's remarkable.)

Brownies

Love it for cookies and cakes ... but just about anything is made easier by a KitchenAid!

As a kid growing up, one of my FAVORITES was a german dish that my grandparents brought over from Germany called cheesebuttons...(I have no idea what the german name is!) By hand, these take nearly all day to make with a few people. With my mixer, I am able to make the dough, and then use the pasta roller attachment to roll it out in nice sheets for the pockets! It saves me hours!

Pumpkin Bread !!

Love my dough hook for making pizza dough and bread. Makes it easy to whip up dough without all the mess.

Isa Chandra Moskowitz's Chocolate Chip cookies!

Slightly sweetened whipped cream.

I love it for pizza dough.

cookies!

I love my mixer for making stiff cookie doughs, but my KitchenAid becomes indispensable every single time I use for mixing bread dough.

However, if I won SideSwipe mixer blades, I would totally start using the KitchenAid for cake batters more often!

Whipping cream!! I love making fresh whipped cream. Banana bread, scones and cupcakes too... so much to make, so little time...

Beating egg whites and whipped cream, definitely. I hate doing all that whisking by hand.

Cinnamon bread! But really anything that requires prolonged mixing.

Cupcakes for me. I know they're easy enough to do by hand, but it's so satisfying.

Creaming butter. Before I got my KitchenAid, I used to attack big sticks of butter with a lightweight hand mixer, and it was a long, arduous job!

Sourdough Bread, any yeast bread really. I love my empire gray KitchenAid

brownies and cakes

What don't I use mine for?! I use it the most for cookies, but my favorite uses {biggest time/arm pain savers!} are making fresh whipped cream and homemade rolls with the dough hook.

I love it for whipping egg whites into meringues (favorite use: angel food cupcakes), whipping cream, and occasionally mashed potatoes (when I'm lazy). Ooh, and bread dough.

Oh I'd love to win one of these! I was just telling my brother (the only college student I know who saved up his money to buy himself a kitchenaid!) about them!

Recently I've been using my mixer for cookie dough mostly I'd say.. Although it gets a workout pretty often for whipped cream as well!

i love my kitchen aid - absolutely my favorite birthday gift from my husband ever! I've loved making fresh pasta with it, but also using it for every day baking... mostly gingerbread cake!

I'd love to win this for pastries!

I use my kitchen aid mixer the most or making cookies and quick breads. I think that this spatula mixer would come in handy. I would love to win this!

www.chattyhousewife.blogspot.com

I've wanted to try this out ever since I saw it.

I think it would be great for cake batter.

I have to pick just one thing? Since the holiday season doesn't seem that far back, I'd have to say cookies because I made a ridonkulous amount of Christmas cookies this year. But I've been drooling over this blade since you posted it, and have been debating whether I should buy one.

cookies

I love to make brioche dough in my mixer for Mardi Gras king cakes!

Chocolate chip cookies!

Banana bread...I can already imagine how perfect this attachment will be!

I love using my mixer for bagel dough - they come out great! These would be fabulous for cookies though.

Definitely cookies.

mashed potatoes and whipped cream

Lots of cookies!

Cookies and potatoes... I haven't used it for bread yet. I'd love this - I saved your post about it previously so I could remember it and get myself one.

Pasta,pizza dough!

Cakes and cookies

cookies and cakes

I'd "whip it good" mashed potatoes. ;-) I don't have one of these and would love one to play with and add the different type of ingredients for cookies and cakes. Thanks and Happy 2008!!

Pizza dough, definitely. But also cookies.

cookies and muffins

lots and lots of cookies

Beating eggs for Fritattas (sp?) or cookies :)

Bread is always a winner with the kitchen aid and cookies are a weekly favorite especially chocolate chocolate chip, but during the holidays you can't beat it for home made candy like divinity.

cakes and bread dough

I wanna win!

I keep my mixer on the counter ready for anything. I love it. I use it for anything that requires mixing, except quick breads.

This is a fabulous product idea that I hadn't heard and it would certainly help me.

Thanks for the contest

Use the mixer for just about everything that needs mixing. Breads, cookies, pancakes....yadda, yadda, yadda. You can't beat it! (no pun intended)

Homemade marshmallows! 10 minutes on high speed=magical fluff.

I use my mixer for pretty much everything I don't want to stir by hand - cookies, cheesecakes, cakes, brownies. I just made marshmallows this weekend for the first time and these blades would have come in mighty handy.

Cookie dough or pizza dough.

Pasta sauces! My boyfriend is Italian and he loves the variety of sauces that I have learned to make. Also, I'm always up for experimenting with ingredients and the mixer makes that very easy.

I love it for everything, but one of the great features of this mixer is the pasta roller. Great for pasta, gum paste and fondant!

cakes, cookies, doughs... you name it!

oatmeal rolls

It has to be cookie dough, hands down. Cookie doughs can get so stiff to mix by any other method. And it's essential to scrape down the bowl when mixing them, making the Sideswipe blade a must-have!

Just great for mash potatoes and such. wonderful. thanks

Mixers are for cookies. And whipped cream.

I would gladly ditch my new year's diet to try out making some cookies.

J

Spicy Molasses cookies with rum glaze (cook's illustrated). This would help!

I love it for everything, but especially whipping up egg whites and whipping cream. I tried to do the latter by hand, once---it was a humbling experience...need to do some push-ups!

cookies!!

Brownies with big chuncks of chocolate- my little hand would break off without my mixer!

i really love this and need to win it!!

I use my mixer for making cookies more than anything else. It got an amazing workout this past Christmas!

Ummm...everything? It does make kneaded bread a breeze; I'm much less hesitant to make it now.

I love to use the meat grinder attachment of the Kithenaide to make sausages and meatloaf. How did I ever live without it?

chocolate chip cookie dough!

Cakes. Definitely cakes.

Meringues and whipped cream are my other uses, but cakes.

I love to use my mixer for any kind of baking (cookies in particular). It is great to be able walk away and get the next ingredient while the mixer keeps going.

I love it for making dough. It makes the process so much faster and cleaner!

C is for cookie, it's good enough for me…

Chocolate chip cookies!

Cookies!

my very first recipe with my new (used) kitchen aid: real simple's basil beer bread. pardon the pun, but i am totally hooked! i can't believe i had fresh bread within 50 minutes of throwing everything in the bowl. i was actually giddy about it!

I use my Kitchenaid to make Oreo Truffles!

cookies and whipped cream

my kitchen aid wore out and i always used it to make bread with it.

cookies, especially chocolate chip and oatmeal. Also great for doughs!

love cookies

cheesecakes!

Disaronno Amaretto cheesecake - pet peeve is having to stop and scrape the side down so this winged creature would be awesome!

chocolate chip pecan cookies!

Cookies! Especially Empanadas de dolce - the dough is tough and sticky! This is perfect.

bread

Angel food cake.

I love making cookies, weel at leats make cookie dough if they get to the oven is another matter!

bread and cookies!

whipping cream! So much harder by hand...

bread and whipped cream.

Cake and bread!

grinding meat

profiteroles!!!!!

making cookies

we make homemade pizzas on friday nights, so our orange kitchenaid is used most for dough, but our new years resolution (one of them, anyway) is to do more baking!

I use it most for cookies, but what it helps me with most is keeping my kitchen cleaner. Somehow, using the KA compels me to be neater with ingredients and measuring cups and the like.

Cakes and cookies

I'd love it for cupcakes, they are so tiny, they need to be throughly mixed!

Icing for cake decorating.

Divinity is my favorite.

Definitely bread

My girlfriend would love this! She bakes all the time, and her birthday is coming up soon! I hope I win!

we use ours the most for making cookies

My recent favorite to make with our red KitchenAid mixer is homemade marshmallows. You really get to take advantage of the whole range of speed, beating the gelatin and sugar syrup into fluffy white delicious goodness. They were quite a hit during the holidays (with both mini, regular, and Red Hot glazed versions), and I'm planning on making a batch of Rice Krispy treats very soon. I am quite curious to know how this unique attachment would affect the marshmallow - the more air the better, right?

Pizza dough

I do a lot of baking, mainly bread dough, pastry, and cakes from scratch and I would love to win these blades. I've never seen them before and think its a really clever idea

Oooh perfect for a lighter than air Pan di Spagna (Italian sponge cake), maybe with a Limoncello curd filling and gently whipped cream coating the meltingly soft interior.

Cakes and their requisite buttercream.

Frankly, I think all the bread bakers should be disqualified, since scraping the bowl isn't much of an issue for them (yes, I am kidding. Or not...)

what you're really asking is why my thighs are so big, right? :P

pasta, pasta, pasta and cookies

This is the best product on the market I have used my daughters before but I don't have one of my own would love this.

I was so excited to get a stand mixer this Christmas - now I can make any cookies I see in the Martha Stewart mag!!

Totally cookies!

LOTS of bread !!!

Has to be cookies. Made like 20 pounds of them over the holidays with my mother and it would have taken sooo much longer without the Kitchenaid. Maybe even faster with this mixer. Heh.

gets used mostly for cookies, but it does beautiful bread dough too

cookies cakes anything sweet

I use the dough hook at least 3-4 times a week to make fabulous bread dough.

carrot cake!

We love to make hugh batches of cookie dough. We then freeze a bunch of the dough for easy cookies later on. Great giveaway. Thanks for offering it.

my kitchen aid helps me most because my husband loves to use it - it looks so cool that he just can't help take over whatever i start !!!

i make a fare amount of pizza dough, so i use the dough hook alot. we could use these also.

Sweet

Anything sweet!!

I COOK ALL THE TIME THIS WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE.

Italian meringue.....not sure how that was *ever* produced before the electric mixer....

Egg whites. Nothing like a mid-week soufflé made possible by the Kitchen Aid.
That, and bread dough.

I've been using mine mostly for cookies lately, but I've also made a killer sweet potato casserole with the kitchen-aid.

I have had seven children. Do I use my KitchenAid?!?!?! I can't imagine my life without it. I make so many things, but my very favorite thing of all is:

Chocolate Chip Cookies!! *And I have an awesome recipe too*

dough

Alton Brown's chewy cookies, with white chocolate chips and dried cranberries. I send them to my girlfriend across the country.

I eat a few, too.

Cookies cookies cookies cookies cookies cookies cookies cookies cookies cookies cookies cookies cookies cookies!!! :D

the smoothest cheesecake ever!
...the fattiest too. coincidentally, i am sure.

Pizza dough all the way

how perfect!

My mom's sugar cookies

Seriously, egg whites!

Pizza dough! This would be great!

Chocolate chip walnut banana bread

Garlic mashed potatoes. Yummmmmm.

cake batter

Cookie central!

Christmas cookies!!!!!

I love baking cookies, muffins, breads, biscotti, and the occasional cake. My Kitchenaid stays pretty busy, and I would love to try the sideswipe blades.

I make cookies for my husbands lunch at work, he requests them and my older kids also stop over and grab some for their snacks too

chocolate chip cookies

LOVE my stand mixer!!!

I already own this wonderful blade. All the revies are TRUE then some. If I were to win two of my friends would get nice gifts

I don't have a stand mixer YET. My birthday is coming up and I've been dropping heavy hints.

YEAST BREAD. Pretty much the only thing I use my KitchenAid for, but it was worth every penny. Although the mixer does have a habit of making a run for the counter edge with certain types of dough.

Pasta. A couple of eggs, a couple cups of semolina flour and a little oil. Set it on the lowest speed and it makes the perfect pasta.

Of course I blew out the motor on my first kitchen aid making pasta, so learn from my mistake and stay on the lowest setting.

Cookies! One day I might even be brave enough to try bread.

I LOVE TO MAKE COOKIES TOO. I RUN A FOSTER HOME FOR DISABLED ADULTS AND THEY REALLY APPRECIATE GOODIES. I JUSY NOTICED THAT MY OLD MIXER NEEDS REPLACING, THE CORD IS CRACKED. I COULD USE A NICE NEW KITCHENAID

Cupcakes! From vegan cupcakes take over the world :)

I love my pasta attachment to make home made pasta (linguini). The Side Swipe Spatula blades would be so handy. They would also help when whipping up cream for toppings and take away the temptation of my reaching into the bowl and swiping the sides with my finger.....helpful for my diet....

Cookies!! At Christmas I make dozens of different kinds of cookies!!

Cookies!

As most of the above:

Cookies

I love my kitchenaid and make lots of Christmas cookies, brownies, etc........

baking experiments, mostly cupcakes though! i've been coveting one of those sideswipe blades since you first wrote about them!

Pancakes

cookies, cookies, cookies. especially for the holidays

We made chocolate shortbread today.

I have two young girls and we make homemade yeast doughnuts at least once a month!

Cookies!

I just got my mixer (aka "mojo mixin'") and so it's definitely increased the amount of cookies being baked in my house

OH!!!!! i Have been coveting this for the past few months!
My favorite use for my kitchenaid is cakes! I love to make cakes for my family and special occastions.

Love this thing to make bread dough, cookie dough...anything doughy!

I deserve cookies

"My Little Angel Of Love"

I gave life to a precious angel just a few short days ago
I love her more than life itself but I loved her enough to let her go
For two short days I held her close in a warm loving embrace
Those beautiful moments in which we bonded my mind will never erase
God gave me a Christian couple that can take care of her every need
But my eyes will always be streaked with tears; my heart will forever bleed
If I could have just one wish our paths will cross again
But I will hold her close in my heart and love her in silence until then
I know I did the right thing. I'm at peace with the Lord above
And I know He will always be watching over "My Little Angel Of Love"

My Kitchen Aide would love this!

I use it mostly for cakes!

I like it for thicker cookie doughs.

cookies, cookies, and more cookies!!

I must admit ... I am entering this contest on behalf of a friend. :) I don't have a KitchenAid, but she does and she loves cooking for all of her friends. She makes cookies, bread, cakes, and everything else you can imagine. She isn't making much at the moment, though, because she is VERY pregnant and will be giving birth in about one week! What better way to welcome her back into the kitchen than with a great gift like this? I know she'd love it. :D

I use my mixer for Italian Cookies and Whole Wheat Pasta the most. Plus everything and anything else I mix. I can't imagine not having it, I've become spoiled.

I don't have a mixer, but my sister does and she makes the most fabulous sour cream pound cakes that are especially yummy right out of the oven. If I won I would give her the spatula mixer thingy.

I have two favorites when it comes to using my mixer: Homemade Mashed Potatoes (heaven on Earth!), and 7-Minute Frosting (that wonderful, old fashioned, fluffy, non-fat, marshmallow-like stuff!)

I'd love to try the SideSwipe Mixer Blades--thanks for the offer!

Birthday Cakes!

Definetely chocolate chip cookies with walnuts...mmm

Cupcakes!

Cookie Dough..... want to show guys I date I can cook LOL

my cookies

I love to make pumpkin bread- this would help get it ALL out of the mixer and into the bread pan.

omg i have been waiting on this to come out!! I love to make cookies and cupcakes!! and i love my kitchenaid!

We make our masa for tamales in our kitchaid. Let's see if the sideswipe can handle that!

I just got my mixer for xmas this year. So far I've used it to make oatmeal raisin cookies and some banana bread. They both turned out fabulous. I can't wait to use it to make ice cream and pasta dough!

totally ice cream

i love it for making things to send to the troops

This one is too fun. I made a "date" with my 3 year old grandson to spend the day. We went to the park and fed the ducks. Played on the playground. Did our "homework"..two pages in the sticker book. And made cookies..one of those Betty Crocker mixes..used my Kitchen Aide. Sean got to turn on, off, I scraped down. He did the scooping and the squishing down. They were delicious, of course! And he made them, "All by myself!" Did I mention, he put sprinkles..lots of them on each cookie. I got GRANDMA POINTS for this day.

I love making ice cream but for the side swipe, I might use it to whip up some icing or meringue -- just to see it in swipey glory.

Cookies, of course!

creamy mashed potatoes

I bought my Kitchenaid mixer after becoming frustrated trying to make a double batch of Chocolate Coma cookies with my old Sunbeam. So cookie dough is my answer, but I love it for nearly everything!

I love to make bread with my KitchenAid, but really I use it for almost everything

I use mine to make cookies, especially around the holidays. Frankly, I can't even imagine mixing those tough cookie doughs without one.

yum, angel food cake. I'd have to give the sideswiper to mum, as I have a lift-bowl model of KitchenAid- think the'd love it though

I cook a lot and use my mixer even more. I love making pizza dough with mine. This attachment would be AWESOME to have. I have wanted something like this for quite some time!

THANKS!

Wow...now my mixer won't be attacking my spatula when I try to sneak it in to scrape the bowl!!

I seem to end up baking chocolate chip cookies almost weekly. I probably wouldn't make them that often without a KitchenAid.

Making Christmas cookies is my favorite mixer use,

It's best for homemade bread.

I use my mixer for everything, but probably most often to make cookie dough. Although I have been meaning to start baking bread again...

Mixer is used most for mashed potatoes. Yum!

These look so cool! I have read about them and would love to try them out.

I love my KitchenAid and my KitchenAid would love it if I'd stop jamming a spatula into the bowl while it's running.

I love the dough hook attachment. It make bread baking so much easier.

My favorite use for my Kitchen Aid is definitely for making bread. Love that dough hook!

I really want one of these SideSwipes for whipping cream and egg whites. It would be great for cakes too.

the mixing blade would help most with my oatmeal cookie dough. I always have to incorporate the extra oats lefyt at the bottom. I get the most use out of my mixer making whipped cream. The cream fat bubbles don't get broken like some mixers so the cream does not separate the next day in the fridge

I like to use my KitchenAid for cupcake batter and frosting, plus whites for meringue and pizza dough. Yum!

My grandmothers coconut cake recipe!

Oh wow I would love this, I make tons of cookie dough!

My Christmas Stollen reciepe...it's a family tradition!

Love to bake cake for my family.

It's great for bread and pizza dough, but I use it for many other things.

My favorite use of my kitchen aid is baking with my 4 year old niece.

making marshmallows!

I use mine for cookie dough.

I love the juicer attachment. I buy a huge bag of limes, juice them, put them in an ice cube tray in the freezer and voila...instant margaritas and majito ingredients!
