  • KitchenAid Stand Mixer – a mixing bowl and hand mixer works just as well however a KitchenAid stand mixer has been a staple in my kitchen for years.
  • Baking sheets – I like these large sheet pans from Wilton with the deep sides. They are very versatile and can be used in multiple ways!
  • Parchment paper – using parchment paper to line your cookie sheets is the best way to prevent the cookies from sticking! I reuse each sheet of parchment multiple times.
  • Rolling pin – I like to use a wooden rolling pin but this comes down to personal preference.
  • Mixing bowls – glass mixing bowls are my favorite because I can see what is happening while mixing.
  • Measuring cups and spoons – I am forever losing and buying new ones!
  • Cookie cutters – there are a ton of different cookie cutter shapes now. Have fun with these!
  • Icing bottles – I much prefer to use icing bottles over piping bags whenever I am decorating my sugar cookies.
  • Wire cooling rack – this one is perfect for cooling the cookies quickly.

  • Bake cookies until the edges are just slightly browned.
  • Cover cookies in plastic wrap or store them in an airtight container at room temperature.
  • Slightly under bake the cookies for super soft sugar cookies.
  • For chewy sugar cookies be sure to mix dry ingredients and wet ingredients in a separate bowl before combining.
