Is the Cuisinart HM-50 good for cookie dough?

It handles soft doughs and batters, but 220 watts struggles with stiff cookie or bread dough. Mix heavy dough in a stand mixer or by hand.

How many speeds does it have?

Five. The thumb-slide control moves through them, from a slow stir to a fast whip.

About 3.5 lb. That is light for a hand mixer and comfortable for short mixing jobs.

The mixer is sold as a hand mixer unit. Check the box contents for the beaters and any whisk included.

Yes. The top speeds whip cream and egg whites well in small batches.

It is smaller, lighter and simpler, but has less power and no bowl. Choose it for light, occasional mixing rather than heavy or long jobs.
