Cookies anyone? 5 items to inspire your inner baker

By msanger

Yes, please! There’s nothing quite like the aroma of fresh-baked cookies wafting from the kitchen. Just when you thought it couldn’t get any better, you pour yourself a glass of ice-cold milk, dunk the cookie in, and, well, you know the rest. Just delicious. We’ve put together a list of fantastic items that will inspire in-home pâtissiers everywhere to get baking. Ready? Set? Bake!

Do you remember that commercial with the mom who is making crispy rice squares? Those delicious treats are really easy to make, but she appears disheveled, with splats of flour all over her face from an exhausting day in the kitchen. This apron surely would have completed her look! Bakers everywhere will love its dapper, fuss-free style. It has a unisex black/white pinstripe pattern and will fit most sizes with its wrap-around design. Baking can get messy, and this apron is machine washable and dryer safe giving you the confidence to go all out without worry as it protects your clothes from those messy kitchen mishaps.

Every baker needs a pastry board, and this one is so beautiful that it will make your time creating sweet treats even sweeter than it already is! It is crafted from genuine quarry harvested marble which is known for its cooling properties, so it will maintain a temperature that is suitable for pastry dough or chocolate work. This pastry board offers a generously sized working area, and its polished surface prevents your creations from sticking.

These aluminum sheet pans will be your go-to whenever it’s time to make those delicious cookies, and are also terrific for sheet pan dinners. They provide exceptional heat conductivity which means no more underbaked centers and burnt bottoms. If you have a little helper in the kitchen, these pans grant you peace of mind because there are no sharp edges. (Although your budding baker will still need to be extra careful not to touch the pans while they’re hot.) After a long day of baking you don’t always feel like doing the dishes right away, and that’s okay when using these sheet pans. Aluminum doesn’t rust, so it’s ok to leave them in the sink overnight without worry. (Note that they are not dishwasher safe so they’ll need to be washed by hand in the morning.)

This baking set offers not only two baking sheets, but also includes two cooling racks. They are perfect for use together when baking savory things in the oven that may drip grease (keeping your food crispy), or used separately with the sheets for baking and the wire racks for cooling things like cookies. The baking sheets are made from 100% stainless steel and are dishwasher safe making clean-up a breeze, although hand-washing is preferred for the racks.
