want to bake perfect cookies but not
0:03
sure what tools you actually need that's
0:05
exactly what this video is about the
0:08
second homemade cookies hit the oven
0:10
your kitchen transforms into a warm
0:13
buttery Wonderland it's practically a
0:15
hug in the form of baked goods but
0:18
here's the secret achieving Bakery
0:20
worthy cookies doesn't require an army
0:22
of fancy Gadgets in fact you might be
0:25
surprised at how few tools you actually
0:27
need so stick around because I'm about
0:29
to reveal the musthave tools that will
0:31
make cookie baking easier faster and
0:34
dare I say more fun first up a baking
0:38
sheet it's the foundation of perfect
0:40
cookies and you want a sturdy one that
0:43
won't warp and here's my secret weapon
0:46
parchment paper I swear by pre-cut
0:49
parchment sheets they save time and
0:51
prevent that awkward wrestling match
0:53
with the roll if you prefer reusable
0:57
options silicone baking mats are great
1:00
next you'll need a mixing bowl one big
1:03
enough to handle your dough without half
1:05
of it ending up on the counter for
1:07
mixing dry ingredients a whisk sifter or
1:10
even a fork will do the job I'm not
1:13
fancy about this whatever breaks up the
1:15
lumps and blends everything together
1:16
works for me measuring cups and spoons
1:19
are essential because baking is
1:21
basically delicious chemistry guessing
1:24
doesn't cut it when you're trying to get
1:26
the perfect cookie texture use dry
1:28
measuring cups for flour and sugar and
1:31
liquid ones for anything wet trust me
1:34
this tiny step saves a lot of heart
1:37
Breck when you pull cookies out of the
1:40
oven now my favorite part mixing the
1:42
dough I love my kitchen8 74 bowl lift
1:46
stand mixer and if you bake often it's a
1:48
GameChanger but if you don't have one a
1:51
hand mixer works too and if all else
1:54
fails grab a wooden spoon and channel
1:57
your inner Baker it's an arm workout
2:00
but hey consider it cookie taxs who
2:02
needs the gym when you've got thick
2:04
cookie dough to mix I prefer my kitchen
2:08
a 7 quart B lift stand mixer because it
2:13
makes mixing dough effortless especially
2:16
when working with thick heavy batters
2:17
like cookie dough unlike a hand mixer it
2:20
keeps both hands free so I can multitask
2:22
measuring out ingredients prepping the
2:24
next step or just sipping my coffee
2:26
while it does all the hard work the bowl
2:29
lift design is sturdy and Powerful
2:31
ensuring everything is mixed evenly
2:33
without the motor struggling plus it
2:36
saves me time and energy making big
2:40
batches of cookies a breeze it can even
2:42
handle double batches without burning
2:45
out the motor which is a lifesaver
2:47
during holiday baking marathons once you
2:49
use a stand mixer There's No Going Back
2:53
speaking of Essentials if there's one
2:55
tool I refuse to bake without it's a
2:57
silicone spatula it's great RS the bowl
3:00
clean folds ingredients perfectly and
3:03
make sure no dough is Left Behind and
3:05
trust me one is never enough I
3:08
personally have a dozen in my kitchen
3:10
because once I start baking I somehow
3:12
manage to use all of them once you get
3:15
one you'll wonder how you ever baked
3:17
without it all right cookies are out of
3:20
the oven and here's where people go
3:22
wrong cooling if you've got a wire
3:25
cooling rack use it it lets air
3:28
circulate keeping your cookie is crisp
3:30
on the outside and soft inside no
3:32
cooling rack no problem just leave them
3:35
on the baking sheet a bit longer but be
3:37
careful cookies left on a hot baking
3:40
sheet will continue baking from the
3:42
residual heat which means they could go
3:44
from Golden Perfection to rock hard
3:46
hockey pucks before you even realize it
3:49
so if you want perfectly baked cookies
3:54
transfer them as soon as they're set and
3:56

3:59
