Do you own a KitchenAid 5-Quart Artisan Stand Mixer? Or, am I the only cook who still whips up most things by hand? Some time this year, I'm going to retire my wire whisks (and hand-held electric mixer) in favor of this shining beauty of a cook's machine.Maybe you're in the market for a KitchenAid Mixer too. I've shopped price at Costco and elsewhere, and I found a super buy on factory reconditioned machines at Amazon.com. As your personal shopper, I'd like to pass this great find on to you.

Customer Review
"My factory-reconditioned KitchenAid Artisan Series 5 quart stand mixer arrived in perfect condition (no scratches, chips, or dents) with all of its accessories. All parts fit together properly. The mixer worked flawlessly on the first try and has continued to do so ever since. It is sturdy, very well made and a pleasure to use. I have no regrets that I bought a factory-reconditioned product. I would recommend KitchenAid factory-reconditioned products to anyone, and I do."—L. Gothberg

I love all the cookie photos! The gingerbread men, women, etc. are so adorable!
The cookies look gorgeous - they would make such pretty gifts!
hi girl those are so pretty
thank you for sharing inspiration
Sometimes starting with a mix is just the best way to go! Totally agree... especially when you're short on time. In a pinch, using Sugar Cookie mix from Betty Crocker works great too for cut outs. Thanks for linking this great idea to Saturday Swap! Have a super start to your week!!
wow those treats are beautiful I so wish I had a mixer like that thanks for sharing the review
