Best Tools For Cookie Baking

My husband always says that you always need the right tool for the right job. The same holds true in the kitchen. Having the right tools, gadgets, and ingredients all ready for you means that the process will go smoother. You’ll turn out dozens of delicious cookies.

So before we get started on recipes, here’s what I recommend you have in your kitchen:

• KitchenAid Stand Mixer – If you are planning to make a lot of cookies, I definitely recommend the splurge of a good stand mixer. It’ll hold up on big baking days, and when you need to quickly mix lots of thick doughs. I’ve had my KitchenAid for close to 20 years, so it’s a worthwhile investment.
• Hamilton Beach Hand Mixer – For the occasional batch of cookies, it may not be worth the effort to break out the big mixer. So this inexpensive option will do the job. Just be careful if your dough is very thick.
• Measuring Cups and Spoons – I like to have a couple of sets. When I am making a few different kinds, I don’t want to waste time washing in between batches.
• Food Scale – I find myself baking by weight more often. I am also converting a lot of my recipes so that you have the weights available to get more precise results.
• Nordicware Sheet Pan – These baking sheets are workhorses in my kitchen. I use them for everything from baking cookies to roasting veggies to making sheet pan meals. They heat evenly, haven’t warped, and clean easily.
• Silicone Mats or Parchment Sheets – Oftentimes, gluten free cookies can be more tender and delicate than their conventional counterparts. So I always use something to line my pans and ensure they don’t stick and crumble.
• Cooling Racks – Stackable ones do double duty for letting those cookies cool quickly without taking up a lot of space on your counter. They are also a great place to get to work with icing or sprinkles.
