Traditionally, I have been making no bake cookie balls during the holidays.  Grinding the cookies has been a task because the basin in my previous processor was too small and couldn’t be overfilled.  Also, I was unable to blend the cream cheese in the cookie mixture.  This product solved all those issues and now I can make the mixture in minutes.  I have also used it to chop nuts, however, for my liking has be don’t in small spurts or you’ll get powered nuts.  My only issue to date is the cleaning of the blade.  It’s very sharp and not much to hold on to when cleaning. I subsequently cut my finger and didn’t even realize until I noticed droplets on the counter.  Just a warning to be careful cleaning.  Otherwise, I definitely recommend this processor.  It saves time and does an amazing job!
