Brittany, when you add in all the ingredients, the Bowl will be heavy and the dough will be stiff. Unless you have a lot of musciles in your hand, my guess is that you should mix the bowl on a pretty powerful mixer. From a somewhat, novice, that's my expierence with quite stiff and heavy doughs.

These may seem like basic questions, but I am a fairly basic cook and there are lots of techniques I'm still learning...I figure we all have to start somewhere. So here we go. I am very interested in making this recipe hopefully soon. But I have some questions about the directions. First, it says cream butter and sugar. What does this mean? Do I do this with a spoon or a mixer? Does it mean to just blend them both together however I want or is there a specific way to do it? Second it says beat in egg and mix in bisquick. I am assuming this means with a mixer, am I right? Or can I do it by hand? And finally it says stir in nuts and chocolate chips. Am I right in assuming I do not need a mixer for this step, just maybe either a wooden spoon or very clean hands to make sure the chips get mixed in properly? Any help anyone can give on this recipe would be much appreciated. I have not baked chocolate chip cookies from scratch in many many years and can't remember how I did it before. So any answers to these questions, or any just random good advice, would be hugely appreciated.
