Is there a Heavy Dough mixer?

I don't know that halving the dough for mixing could be any less
painful, rather just take more time. My Kitchenaid does not allow for
any way to hand-mix, and a drill may not work either...plus I have none. =
The batch I make ends up being just over twelve dozen 3" cookies, and
for this time, they're all packed into containers for taking to work and
keeping. Setting the bowl into the sink with the creamed butter and
sugars, and then mixing the flour into the batter literally bare handed
worked pretty well tonight, I must say. Another first time try was to
make 15 cookie (baking sheet size amount) sized rolls of the dough,
wrapped in wax paper, then into the refer for about an hour ro sit there
until cutting and mashing onto the two bake sheets for baking. It
worked to be a far better method than spooning or "balling" the dough
onto the sheets.
For now, I will simply stick to the naked hand blending of any heavy
doughs, but thanks so much for trying to be of help!
