I always stir my sugar cookie dough by hand - actually use a fork. This was my mother's sugar cookie recipe and even her mother starting making it. Everyone in the family makes this recipe because they come out so light and delicious.

Mom's Sugar Cookies
3 Cups All Purpose Flour - sifted
1 tsp. Baking Powder
1/4 tsp. Salt
1 1/4 Cups Sugar
1 Cup (2 sticks) Butter - softened to room temperature
3 Eggs - room temperature
1 tsp. Vanilla Extract
Sift or whisk together dry ingredients. Cut in butter with pastry blender or 2 knives. Add unbeaten eggs and vanilla; mix well with fork. Refrigerate for about 1 hour to chill. Roll out very thin on floured board and cut with floured cookie cutters. Bake 8 minutes in 375 F preheated oven. Frost as desired.

Hope you enjoy. And no mixer involved!

Yeah, you can do it without a mixer; however, your hand will REALLY start to hurt after a while. The hardest part is when you have to cream the butter, sugar and egg together; the butter always wants to stay chunky! There isn't a recipe that's gonna make it any easier!

it's easy breezy. all you have to do is let your cold ingredients get up to room temperature (which is a good tip any time you bake). butter and eggs take about 30 minutes. then you can just blend like mad with a whisk or even a fork in a pinch. good luck!

use the regular recipe but...make sure the butter is room temp, start whipping with a whisk or fork, when it starts to get fluffy add in the sugar and just keep whisking, it can be done... I accidentally threw away one of my beater to my mixer. Your arm will hurt.
I can also recommend the mixes of dry ingredients you can buy in the baking aisle. You don't have to cream the butter. All the dry ingredients are in the bag and you just add the fat(sometimes its butter sometimes oil, depending on the type of cookie) and eggs. They are good. And homemade, its like using Bisquick to make pancakes.
