Are you doing some holiday baking this year? These are the absolute best Christmas baking essentials to get you into the ultimate Christmas spirit.
There is truly nothing better than baking Christmas cookies. Whether you’re making cookies for the neighborhood or a small batch for the family, the only thing that can make baking better is some cute bakeware! I mean who wouldn’t want cute stuff to bake with.
No matter the way that you bake, any person baking this holiday season is guaranteed to love these Christmas baking essentials. From cooling racks to spatulas, these cute baking essentials are guaranteed to make Christmas baking even more enjoyable.
This post is all about Christmas baking essentials.
Before we begin here is a little baking inspiration! Baking during the holidays is one of my favorite activities.
COOLING RACKS:
When it comes to baking, cooling racks are essential. Take a second to imagine life without a cooling rack. Wait, you can’t! In conclusion, we would all be lost without our trusty cooling racks. The perfect cooling racks for your holiday baking are featured below.
If you are more simplistic, the first cooling rack set from Target is perfect for you. Additionally, Gingerbread racks like in the inspiration picture are a huge trend this season. Most certainly, the gingerbread rack from Wayfair is the cutest ever.
BAKING COOKBOOKS:
If you are a true baker then you probably already have a bunch of books. But, maybe you don’t have these! I am totally obsessed with the Patisserie At Home book from Amazon! However, this book is a little more pricey than the others. But, it is such a gorgeous book and it is definitely something you’ll want on display in your kitchen.
In addition, the other two books are also great options! The Crumb baking cookbook is from The Great British Bakeoff contestant Ruby Tandoh. All the recipes look delicious. Did you know baking books make great gifts too?
BOWLS:
Bowls on bowls on bowls! In baking, you need lots of bowls! That is to say here are the cutest bowls for all your holiday baking adventures.
First, you’ll need the little bowls from Target for things like sprinkles or chocolate chips. In short, they are perfect for holding small ingredients. Next, you will need this set of bowls from Crate & Barrel because they are seriously the cutest. Additionally, they will come in handy for baking. Lastly, you will need a big mixing bowl like this cute one from Target to combine all your ingredients.
SILICONE SPATULAS:
All in all, spatulas are life-changing when it comes to baking. They literally get every crumb out of a bowl so nothing goes to waste. Seriously, you guys my life was changed when I started using a silicone spatula like the ones below.
It is no surprise that Target has the best variety of Christmas spatulas at the cheapest price. This gingerbread man spatula from Target is the absolute cutest. Plus it is only $2. Next, we have another really cute spatula option from Crate & Barrel. I am loving the simplistic Christmas design. Lastly, the spatula from Bed Bath & Beyond is another great option and will be sure to help get every last bit out of the bowl.
OVEN MITTS:
You can’t do any baking without oven mitts! After all, you would burn your hands getting hot pans out of the oven! That is why oven mitts are a part of this Christmas baking essentials list.
Once again, Target has the best options! But, this time it’s oven mitts. I love that Target sells these festive sets. Additionally, I love that they are affordable! Lastly, these mini oven mitts from Bed Bath & Beyond are super cute. They are surprisingly affordable, too!
COOKIE JARS:
After all your Christmas baking, you will need somewhere cute to store (or hide) your precious cookies! That is why I have found the best cookie jar options for you.
To begin, we have this Martha Stewart Embossed Gingerbread House Cookie Jar available on QVC. However, this cookie jar is a bit of a splurge. But, here me out you could use it for many years! Seriously though it is such a stunning jar full of details. Another really great option for only $25 is the Christmas tree cookie jar from Target.
COOKIE CUTTERS:
Next, you will need cookie cutters. After all cookie cutters are essential for sugar cookies and gingerbread men. Imagine life without cookie cutter! Baking would certainly be a lot harder, lol. The best sets of cookie cutters are below.
ROLLING PINS:
Another baking essential is a rolling pin. You will certainly need a rolling pin to roll out your dough. First, we have this mini striped rolling pin from Target that is the cutest. Then, we have this neutral affordable rolling pin from Walmart. Last but not least this “Oh what fun” rolling from Target is a great option. And, it matches the oven mitt set!
CUPCAKE LINERS:
Don’t forget your cupcake liners! Cupcake lines are certainly a baking essential. Here are some pretty cupcake liners below! That is to say, cupcake liners can be found at almost every store! Just make sure you buy some cute ones.
SPRINKLES:
To top off this baking essential list, you definitely need some sprinkles. Did you know sprinkles can get pretty pricey? Here are the best most affordable options below. Moreover, this set of holly jolly sprinkles from Target is one of the best I have seen, especially for the price. Also, I am obsessed with this stunning winter sprinkle set from Walmart.
