Cookie Baking Tools Under $30 at Amazon

Every year, my mother-in-law goes to a holiday party, but there’s no mistletoe hanging from the ceiling and no eggnog chilling in the refrigerator. No, she and her friends are there for one thing and one thing only: swapping cookies. With upwards of 15 people in attendance and a seemingly endless supply of gingerbread, snickerdoodles, and snowballs to sample, the toughest part of the evening is surely figuring out how to taste every cookie before filling up too much. Personally, it’s a problem I would love to have.  

Read on to shop the kitchen tools — from baking sheets to mixing bowls — that make cookie carouses like my mother-in-law’s possible. A sweeter holiday season is just a click away (and costs less than $30).

Wilton Simple Success 13-Piece Cookie Press 

If you’re thinking about whipping up spritz cookies or cheese straws for your next holiday fête, you’ll need to acquire a cookie press. There are many styles and price ranges to choose from, but Wilton’s 13-piece model swept the competition in terms of value. In addition to a clear barrel to easily discern when you need to add more dough, the set also includes 12 disks with shapes ranging from Christmas trees to snowmen — all for only $10. 

Cuisinart 17-Inch Chef’s Classic Nonstick Bakeware Cookie Sheet 

After rounds of testing, Food & Wine editors labeled Cuisinart’s 17-inch cookie sheet the “Best Nonstick” option. In fact, it’s so nonstick that they caution all bakers to be careful when inserting and extracting the sheet from the oven to avoid any accidental sliding. That said, its slippery surface makes for “effortless lifting, flipping, and cleaning” while also baking cookies evenly and efficiently. It’s a win-win. 

Hamilton Beach 6-Speed Electric Hand Mixer 

Some cookie recipes can be made without a machine, but the majority require more power than a whisk and a hand can provide. If you don’t have the budget or the room for a stand mixer, your next best option is a hand mixer like this one from Hamilton Beach. It has six speed settings, three attachments, and positive reviews from over 46,000 Amazon customers who swear by its “great construction” and “powerful” beaters.    

OXO Good Grips 3-Piece Plastic Mixing Bowl Set 

When weighing flour or beating softened butter with brown sugar, you absolutely need a quality set of mixing bowls, and this bundle from OXO is one of the best money can buy. They nest together for easy storage, have spouts for easy pouring, handles for easy holding, grippy bottoms for easy mixing, and are dishwasher-safe for easy cleaning. Simply put, it’s easier to bake with these than without.  

Gorilla Grip Soft Silicone Oven Mitts 

When an Amazon shopper takes the time to write a 350-word glowing review of oven mitts, you know you’ve got a winning product on your hands. Not only did they call Gorilla Grip’s silicone mitts the “Fort Knox of hand protection,” they also praised their grippy texture, comfortable design, “long forearm coverage,” and washable exterior. To finish their review, they wrote: “Five stars, hands down (and protected by Gorilla mitts, of course).” I couldn’t have said it better myself. 

Hiware Stainless Steel Stackable Cooling Racks 

There’s no better way to ruin a freshly baked batch of cookies than by letting them burn on a too-hot baking sheet. The best way to avoid this upsetting end is by investing in cooling racks to give them the space and airflow they need to chill. While you can certainly grab a single rack, Hiware’s stackable set triples your available counter space, making it the perfect pick for small kitchens and large bake jobs alike.   

Cuisinart Set of 3 Mesh Strainers 

Whether you’re dusting ladyfingers with powdered sugar or sifting almond flour into egg whites for macarons, mesh strainers will undoubtedly come in handy in your kitchen. Cuisinart’s set of three strainers is an excellent deal at less than $5 apiece, especially considering how useful the varying sizes are for draining pasta, sifting cocoa powder, and everything in between. 

Aisoso French Rolling Pin 

My mom’s favorite rolling pin is this $9 model from Aisoso, which is guaranteed to make quick work of rolling out cookie dough. At 17.7 inches long, it can tackle large quantities of dough without having to constantly reposition the pin. Plus, it’s made of polished wood, so all you need is a damp cloth to wipe it clean after use.  

Gorilla Grip Stainless Steel Cookie Scoop 

For cookies that need portioning rather than rolling or pressing, your best bet is to grab a cookie scoop. This shopper-loved model from Gorilla Grip comes in four sizes, has more than 3,600 perfect ratings, and was dubbed a “must-have” tool for “baking precision.” Grab all four now to prepare for any recipe — be it cookie, meatball, or ice cream — your future self will want to make.   

Silpat Nonstick Silicone Baking Mat 

A great way to save money and reduce waste in the kitchen is by investing in a reusable silicone baking mat like this one from Silpat. It’s dishwasher-safe and famous for its even heat distribution, but the best part is that it comes pre-marked with cookie outlines, so you’ll never wonder if you’re overcrowding your baking sheet again. Grab it now while it’s 31% off ahead of the holidays.      

Tiluck Stainless Steel Measuring Cups and Spoons Set

Of course, the first step of any recipe is to properly measure all of your ingredients. (Yes, this should happen even before you preheat your oven.) Amazon shoppers love Tiluck’s set for its convenient markings, long-lasting stainless steel construction, and ability to stack or hang depending on the needs of their kitchens.
