I broke my mix master today - in the middle of making cookies. (it was a fairly cheap one) So now I'm just not sure if i can finish making the cookies. I've got butter, sugar and egg in the bowl. Is there another way to "Cream" this by hand?
I'm not going to buy another cheap mixer - i want to get a good one eventually.
Also I have another 2 cakes to make this week!

Well, normally one creams just the butter and sugar and then adds the eggs.
Just smash it against the sides of the bowl with a spoon, over and over until the mass looks the way it does when you use your mixer.
Good luck on your cookies.

hey, thanks for your reply.
I just ended up chucking it in the blender! It didn't work the best but it ended up ok.

I figured you'd already done something because of the time of your post. I just didn't want you not to get a response. Glad it worked out ok.
