When I tried my hand mixer it bogged down and quit within 15 seconds, and my arm gave out trying to mix the dough by hand. This year I am armed and ready! I even bought the green and red sugar crystals to decorate. These cookies are not real sweet, but light and delicious. Keep your fingers crossed for me.
