Baking Aid Tools

1. Chua Baking Mats

If you’re looking for the perfect baking mats for your cookies, I recommend using 100% silicone-coated fiberglass mesh perforated mats. Not only are they freezer and oven-safe, but they’re also heat-resistant up to 400 degrees Fahrenheit! These mats can help reduce spreading and create a lovely texture at the bottom of your cookies.

2. Oven Thermometer

Oven Thermometer, temperature range: 100F to 600F, stainless steel.

Ensuring your oven is at the right temperature when baking is essential. To avoid any mishaps, using an oven thermometer is a great idea! It’ll help you achieve your desired baking temperature and ensure that your baked goods come out perfectly every time. So go ahead and give it a try!

3. Pack Stainless Steel Cooling Rack

Did you know using a cooling rack can improve your cookies? It helps them cool faster and more evenly, so they won’t get soggy or stick to the baking sheet. Plus, you’ll get the perfect texture and flavor every time!

4. Zester Grater

Having a zester grater for cookies is beneficial for several reasons. A zester grater is a versatile kitchen tool that finely grates the outer peel of citrus fruits, such as lemons, oranges, and limes. Incorporating this tool into your cookie-baking process can enhance the flavor and presentation of your cookies.

5. Fondant  Smoother

I use this tool to smooth my cookies immediately after taking them out of the oven, creating a smooth surface perfect for decorating.

6. Cookie Scribes

It’s a great tool to spread the icing evenly and eliminate any pesky bubbles that might pop up. Plus, it’s much more eco-friendly than toothpicks because you can reuse them repeatedly! And the best part? Scribes don’t absorb any food color, so you won’t need to keep replacing them. If you’re considering investing in some cookie-decorating tools, a scribe is one to add to your list. I love the longer, skinnier scribes – they work better for me!

7. Excalibur Electric Food Dehydrator

No need to worry if you don’t have a dehydrator to dry royal icing on your sugar cookies. You can always opt for the suitable old-fashioned air-drying method at room temperature or using a fan. But hey, if you plan to decorate a large batch of cookies or something that requires intricate detailing, having a dehydrator can make things much more manageable and reliable. I love my dehydrator, but if I buy a new one, I’ll go for the COSORI Food Dehydrator. I have heard amazing reviews from other cookie friends.

8. Air Genie Basic Airbrush Kit

If you love decorating cookies, you should know that airbrushing is a fantastic technique to help you create stunning and even color gradients. It’s like having a secret weapon that can add a professional touch to your designs! However, if you’re not into airbrushing, don’t worry. You can still achieve similar results with techniques like icing piping or brush painting, although they may require more time and effort. At the end of the day, the choice to use an airbrush or not is up to you and what you feel comfortable with.

9. KODAK Luma 150 Ultra Mini Pocket Pico Projector

If you want to create beautifully decorated cookies, using a projector can be a big help! This handy tool makes achieving precise and intricate designs easy, even for complex or custom patterns. But don’t worry if you don’t have a projector – you can still make stunning decorations by doing it freehand or with stencils. It takes more patience and skill, but the results can be just as excellent! Ultimately, choosing a projector comes down to your preferences and the level of detail you want to achieve in your cookie decorating projects.

10. Glass Telford Tumblers

Using a glass can make filling piping bags a breeze! It provides stability and convenience while you’re filling the bag. The wide mouth of the glass makes it easy to insert the piping bag, and it keeps the bag from collapsing or tipping over. Plus, the glass is see-through, so you can monitor the filling progress to ensure you don’t overfill or make a mess. Overall, using a glass makes filling piping bags simpler and more efficient. You’ll have more time to enjoy the fun part – decorating your delicious cookies!

11. Assorted Wine Glasses

Here’s a little cookie decorating tip: if you want more control over pouring icing and reducing waste, try using a narrow glass with a thin mouth. It’s a fantastic tool for achieving precision when working on intricate details or delicate cookie designs. Plus, the narrow design minimizes the risk of spills. It ensures that the icing flows smoothly, making it easier to get the perfect consistency for decorating. All in all, narrow glass can streamline your cookie decoration process and help you achieve beautiful results!

12. Tall Shot Glasses with Heavy Base

Using shot glasses for small amounts of icing is a nifty trick to make your cookie decorating experience more enjoyable and efficient. Shot glasses offer a convenient and controlled way to portion out icing, which means you’ll waste less and ensure consistent icing for each task. Their small size makes them easy to handle and maneuver, which is especially helpful when working on intricate designs or fine details. Overall, shot glasses are practical tools that help you manage your icing quantities effectively and make your cookie decorating projects a breeze.

13. Mount Phone Holder Full Kit

If you love decorating cookies, using a projector can be a game-changer! To make this process even better, using a mount can be extremely helpful. It provides stability and lets you position the projector precisely, ensuring that your cookie designs are projected accurately. When you securely mount the projector, you get consistent angles and distances that result in sharper and more accurate outlines for your decorations. However, if you don’t have a mount, don’t worry! You can still achieve projection without one, although it may require more effort to position the projector securely each time you use it. Ultimately, whether or not you choose to use a mount depends on your preference for convenience and precision in your cookie decorating process.

14. Dual Ended Detail Liner Brush

Did you know that using a thin brush is a great way to achieve fine details and precise control when decorating cookies? But don’t worry if you don’t have one – you can still decorate your cookies with broader brushes or other tools. Just remember that you may get a different level of intricate results. Ultimately, the decision to use a thin brush comes down to your preferences and the level of detail you aim to achieve. So why not experiment and have fun with your cookie decorating?

15. Set of 6 – Clip for Piping Bags

Using clips to close tipless bags is a great idea when decorating cookies with icing! It helps prevent the icing from leaking or drying out during a break. By securely sealing the bag with a clip, you can keep your icing at the perfect consistency and avoid any messes or interruptions in decorating. Although twisting and holding the top of the bag with a rubber band is an option, clips provide a more secure and convenient way to go. So, go ahead and give it a try!

16. White Original Lamp with Weighted Wood Base

The quintessential Canvas Lamp. A happy marriage between cool metal and warm wood, with all the stability and flexibility you need for hassle-free creating. And no matter what your desk goals are, this lamp will help you smash them.
