I used the stand mixer for the first time to make chocolate chips cookies, I had to use spatula or scraper to get most of the cookie dough from flat beater. Am I suppose to use the dough hook after I mixed the butter, sugar, eggs and vanilla extract?

Thank you.

I just use the flat beater for cookies. Are you making a small batch?

I have a Kitchenaid too and the only time I've ever used the dough hook is to make yeast bread or pizza dough....that's it

Yes, your flat beater is your friend and you do need a scraper, mom always used her pointer finger. When making cookie dough, I always use the whip attachment for the butter and sugar then change to the paddle adding the eggs and the rest of the flour components.

Thanks for the reply.

What speed do you use when you mix the dry ingredients? I only used up to two. Do I need to adjust the speed a notch?

Thanks!
