although I have the pour shield with my lift style KA -- I learned this trick from Martha Stewart so this doesn't happen.

 

I buy my parchment paper in sheets (at restaurants supply store) -- the trick is to take the sheet fold in half and "pour the flour" slowly into the bowl.

 

Plus, when adding dry ingredients the mixer should be on "lowest" speed to mix. The reason is not only flour mess but over mixing the dough to incorporate the flour causes it to be over mixed yielding chewy cookies(or thin) due to overworking the gluten in the flour.

 

Ive used this method for years and no mess perfect cookies everytime!

 

Hope this helps! 


 

 

Also an excellent suggestion @homedecor1  

I have the parchment rounds to use for my cheesecakes and cakes.  That should work as well!

 

Thank you for the reminder NOT to overmix!  I am guilty of that!!!
