Baking Tools
Our bakery has cranked out a few thousand batches of cookies in our day - whether you're making them in a 140 quart industrial mixer or with a mixing bowl and spatula in your home kitchen, the tools of the trade are largely the same. Here are a few of go-tools for ultimate cookie success.
Baking sheets
They need not be fancy, they need not be new. I recommend a heavy bottomed baking sheet as they are less likely to warp - a flimsy baking sheet results in uneven heat distribution, which means some of your cookies will bake unevenly, usually burning at the bottom.
8x8-inch / 9x13-inch baking dish
Used for bar cookies, this dish has tall walls to keep your dough from going anywhere but up. Be mindful if the recipe calls for an 8x8 or 9x13 (often called lasagna pan) - so you get the optimal thickness/thinness and correct bake time.
Cookie Scoops
2 ¾ ounce metal scoops - or blue scoops as most kitchens call them, as their handles are blue - give the size cookie we like most: not too big (if there is such a thing), not too small, perfectly crushable.

Stand Mixer
Listen, I’ve made a few batches of cookies in my day, and when there isn’t a mixer handy, I roll up my sleeves and flex my biceps, but a stand mixer saves a lot of hassle and helps make sure every single batter and batch is completely homogenous. If there is one mistake I see more often ... Read more than others in the cookie making process, it’s rushing the creaming stage and a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment helps enormously.

Timer
Too many a batch of cookies has been lost because someone foolishly told themself “I’m sure I’ll know when 12 minutes is up” - trust me, you won’t. I don’t and I’m cookies’ biggest fan! The timer on your phone works great, as dones a regular kitchen timer.
