Best Gifts for the Cookie Baker | Christmas Gift Guide

Honestly, I don't know what I'd do without my stand mixer. There are so many KitchenAid mixers on the market, from space-saving to tilt head. I've listed this one because it is the one I have and use... every single day. So worth the investment if you like to bake.

Another small appliance I use every week is my food processor. There are several brands on the market, but this is the one I've used for years and still love. From chopping and shredded to cutting in butter for scones, cookies, and pastries. It's a convenience all bakers love in the kitchen!

"Quickly create dozens of bite-size holiday cookies with this efficient tool. Simply guide the stainless-steel wheel over pre-chilled, rolled-out dough. In mere moments, you'll have row after row of festive cookies, which will still be firm so you can easily transfer them to a baking sheet."

• First press firmly into rolled-out dough to create one full-size shape for cookie base, then cut a second full-size shape and depress the spring to create top layer with cutout center.

Especially during the holidays, a cookie press is a fun tool to easily create candy canes, wreaths, and Christmas trees.

An essential in any baker's kitchen. I especially like the storage compartment -- no more looking for the attachments!

"Successful baking relies as much on good tools as it does on techniques and ingredients. Our signature professional-quality pans offer superb performance and the impeccable release of our Goldtouch nonstick coating. This special set includes all the essentials for everyday baking tasks."

Made in the U.S., these cookie sheets are a tried and true quality tool every cookie baker needs. I like to avoid dark-colored or nonstick sheets, as they can result in overbrowned cookies.

For easy cleanup and a quality non-stick surface every baker needs. Silpat is the original non-stick baking mat used by cookie bakers.

I always prefer a stainless steel cookie spatula. A thin metal spatula is always best when removing fragile cookies from the baking sheet.

A must for bakers, from scraping out your bowl to subbing as a cookie spatula.

Every baker needs a quality wooden spoon for stirring and mixing batters.

Delicious cookies require accurate measures. Stainless is my preferred and this set is both affordable and quality. Perfect for dry ingredients, spices, and herbs.

A perennial bestseller for a reason. These glass measuring cups for liquid ingredients are invaluable.

Just like grandma has, this classic wooden rolling pin with handles is easy to use for a variety of baking needs. Including rolled sugar cookies!

One of my favorite tools in the kitchen is this French-style tapered rolling pin. Perfect for all types of dough and is lightweight and easy to maneuver! Made from North American maple.

The perfect pastry chef set combines tools for essential tasks. Includes: Offset Spatula, Straight Spatula, Pastry Brush, Fluted Pastry Cutter and Bench Scraper.

Spatulas provide the control required to ice cakes, smooth batter, and spread fillings and ganaches.

Pastry brush is ideal for applying washes.

Fluted cutter has a rotary blade for efficiently cutting dough and creating a decorative fluted edge.

Bench scraper is ideal for lifting and portioning soft dough, and cleaning work surfaces.

"Prized by professional pastry chefs, marble is the ideal surface for rolling out dough, as the stone remains cooler than room temperature. It promotes exceptional results with nearly any type of dough."

This is one of my handiest tools in the kitchen. From rolling out pastry dough to pizza dough, to cookie dough. Its measurements on the side have been invaluable. It's slip-proof and easy to use and cleanup!

When retrieving cookies from the oven, you’ll want to transfer them to a cooling rack. This 3-Tier rack ensures ample room without taking a lot of counter space.

With these 18, 3-inch cookie cutters, the baker on your list can create cookie cutouts in all their favorite shapes.

I'm baking cookies every week at my house. I can't imagine the task without a set of cookie scoops! "Soft, ergonomic grips absorb pressure to ensure comfort – even when making large batches of cookies."

Every baker needs a couple of sets of mixing bowls. I like these, especially for batter that needs poured -- like pancakes, waffles, Dutch babies and more!
