it depends on the mixer, but most should be able to handle it just fine, stand mixers more reliably than hand mixers.
aside from that, organisation helps. have your ingredients together and at room temp, have your racks and cookie sheets ready, preheat the oven, mix the dough.
most ovens have at least 2 racks, so one can do 2 sheets' worth of cookies at a time; if you have 4 sheets, that's only 2 batches thru the oven. when one batch comes out, slide the other in, let the cookies on the first racks cool a couple minutes, then put them on racks.
if you've only 2 racks, let them cool until they're cool to the touch, then drop and bake the 2nd set.
i fill the sink with hot soapy water either before i start or when the first batch are in the oven, and drop everything into it as i finish with it. then clean up takes only a couple minutes.
