I have about 350 cookies that I need to make for a wedding. I am wondering how many times you can multiply the recipe before compromising the quality.

I will be working in a restaurant with a large Hobart stand mixer. Very large. So equipment won't be an issue... I just want to make sure that I'm not going to screw up the cookies.

The recipe is similar to a "Lofthouse" cookie, I've been told.

1 c shortening
5 c flour
2 c sugar
1 tsp salt
3 beaten eggs
3 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 c sour cream

Cream shortening & sugar. Add eggs, vanilla & sour cream.
Mix well! Add sifted flour with salt, baking powder and
baking soda.

350 degrees -- 15 mins

Let me know, please!

I had a 20 qt mixer and re-wrote my regular cookie recipes up to 6X. they all worked just fine.

Yeah, there are definitely some of my Big Boy Toys from the shop that I miss!!

I usually multiply my recipes. The only thing that holds me back is mixer size and strength. It shouldn't mess with the integrity of the recipes unless you do not mix them properly (which shouldn't be an issue if you are using said "big guns")

I'm with you.. I am always so scared to multiply my recipes! Good luck!

Thank you, thank you, thank you everyone!!!

It is the mixer that is used to make pizza dough, breadcrumb mixes, with the attachment it grates cheese, too. Italian restaurant, in case you didn't figure.

Well, I am going to slightly simmer down on panicking about 350 cookies now.

Thanks everyone!

I multiply all my recipes without issues. Matter of fact, I don't think I ever not multiply them.

I'm not familiar with lofthouse cookies. Are they drop cookies?
