Your guide for must-have baking equipment.
Straight Spatula
Ateco Ultra Spatula, $9.99
The metal blade of a straight spatula is optimal for spreading frosing and icing on cakes because it is not flexible, as that of a rubber spatula tends to be.
Rubber or Silicone Spatula
Bench Scraper
Oxo Good Grips Pastry Scraper, $8.99
Bench scrapers are used to help portion and handle all types of dough. When it comes to working with stickier doughs, such as bread dough, a bench scraper can be particularly handy.
Pastry Brush
Oxo Good Grips Silicone Pastry Brush, $6.97
A pastry brush is most useful for applying egg washes to pie crusts before baking. They are also great for brushing butter on pressed crusts before baking and glazes on cakes or doughnuts.
Pastry Cloth
Regency Pastry Cloth and Rolling Pin Cover Set, $6.03
When it comes to handling and rolling out dough, a pastry cloth can ease the process. They are typically made of canvas and have a non-slip surface on one side, which makes for a stable working area. Though some people prefer to use plastic wrap or parchment paper to roll out their dough, pastry cloths are durable and reusable alternative.
Balloon Whisk
Kuhn Rikon 10-Inch Balloon Wire Whisk, $14
With the vast variety of whisks available, it can be both pricey and challenging to figure out which kind best suits your needs. A balloon whisk is a great place to start your whisk collection, as it is the most standard and widely useful of its kind. The spacious, bulb-like shape of a balloon whisk makes it ideal for whipping and mixing batters.
Microplane Grater
Microplane Grater/Zester, $10.85
Whether grating ginger, lemons, or chocolate, a microplane grater is precise and easy to clean. Plus, the handheld nature of a microplane grater allows for ingredients to be grated right into a batter.
101 Cookie Recipes To Fulfill Every Craving You Could Possibly Have This Holiday Season

From our kitchen to yours, here are our picks for cookie recipes perfect for edible food gifts and cookie platters.
There is something about the crisp fall air that year after year pulls us into the kitchen with nothing on our mind but baking trays and trays of cookies. Luckily, all of this delightfully tasty work won't go to waste as you bag and box the array of cookies for holiday gifts or to shore up your cookie coffers and jars.
What makes cookies so irresistible? Everyone has an opinion on what the finished product should be -- crispy, crumbly, or chewy -- which is why we couldn't settle on just one recipe to test. After digging through our collection of more than 300 cookie recipes, reaching out to our Culinary Content Network for their favorite recipes, and tapping into the minds of our favorite expert bakers (pastry chef Zac Young, baker Amy Scherber, cookbook author Paula Shoyer, chef Nathan Lyon, and more) for their picks, we rounded up our most comprehensive list yet.
Before you ready your ovens, mitts, and baking sheets to try every recipe from simple sugar cookies to truffle-stuffed gooey delights, check out our expert tips from none other than the cronut and cookie shot inventor himself, pastry chef Dominique Ansel, that will ensure your cookies turn out golden and tender every time.
Ansel says one of the most common mistakes when baking is overestimating baking times. He explains, "For chocolate cookies, make sure not to over-bake them. Because they're darker in color, people tend to over bake them because it's a bit harder to tell when they're ready. Bake them a little less than you think!"
In addition to not overbaking, remember never rush, Ansel says, "Always rest your cookie dough in the fridge overnight, especially when baking powder is called for in the recipe. Chilling and resting the dough in the fridge overnight helps to activate the yeast, and you get a cookie with a better texture and flavor."
Finally, if you ever wonder why your cookies turn out flat, instead of thick and chewy like the recipe picture shows, Ansel says it's all about oven temperature. "A lot of times, when you see the cookie dough spreading as it bakes in the oven, they're actually melting instead of baking. A convection oven with a high fan is always best for even consistency," explains chef Ansel.
This holiday season, as you search for edible gift and cookie platter ideas, peruse The Daily Meal's round up of 101 cookie recipes, including everything from the classic to the quirky, that is sure to satisfy your cookie needs.
