Helpful baking supplies you will need for making cookies

Get out two mixing bowls and a small bowl to crack the egg in. You will need a mixing spoon or baking spatula. It’s nice to own a cookie scoop for making the same size cookies.

Other helpful baking tools you can use for the recipe are a hand mixer and a whisk. Use Silpat or parchment paper for preparing the baking sheets for baking the cookies.

This is the hand mixer I own. And this is the hand mixer I bought Sammie for her first apartment. You can shop and follow us for all our favorite baking tools here!
