What hand mixer is best for thick cookie dough?

The Cuisinart HM-90S and Breville Handy Mix Scraper handle thick cookie dough (butter + sugar + flour, stiff consistency) better than most hand mixers. The Cuisinart's 220W motor maintains speed through thick batter without bogging. The Breville's scraper beaters eliminate the need to stop and scrape the bowl. Both the KitchenAid 5-speed and 7-speed handle standard cookie dough at speed 2 to 3 without strain. Avoid trying to mix very stiff shortbread or biscuit dough in a hand mixer, that requires a food processor or stand mixer.

Can a hand mixer make Italian meringue or Swiss meringue?

Yes, with the right technique. Italian meringue (hot sugar syrup poured into beating egg whites) requires adding the syrup slowly while the mixer runs, use a bowl with a spout or a second person to pour. The KitchenAid 7-speed is the best hand mixer for this task: the slow speed 1 is genuinely slow (not a sprint), allowing controlled syrup addition, and speeds 6 to 7 are fast enough to build stiff peaks quickly. Swiss meringue (cooked egg whites over a double boiler, then whipped) works well with any of the top picks. French meringue (uncooked egg whites and sugar) is the easiest: any hand mixer at high speed produces stiff peaks in 4 to 6 minutes.
