Stocking up the kitchen with the right tools and ingredients is your first step to success; here are a few of the best baking sheets to track down when you want to make perfect holiday cookies:

AirBake by WearEver Nonstick Baking Sheet
This baking sheet is made by T-Fal, a high quality ‘mega sheet’ with a thick layer of non stick coating that always provides even baking. It’s also dishwasher safe, so you can bake away and clean with ease. Its made with a two-sheet air insulated design, trapping in the heat form the oven to create a very even cooking surface. You can look forward to perfectly cooked shortbread in no time!

Pyrex Professional Large Flat Cookie Sheet
This baking sheet is used by many professional chefs and bakers in cafes and restaurants, a commercial-weight steel sheet that provides fast and even heating. It’s different than most baking sheets with an extra-wide ‘lip’ on one side so you can pull it out of the oven with ease. Etchings right on the sheet also map out where the cookie dough goes; no more cookies that stick together!

Baker’s Secret Air Insulated Cookie Sheet
This extra-large baking sheet is made with a silicone non-stick coating. You don’t have to use butter or cooking spray at all. This one also makes use of ‘air-insulated technology,’ and the smooth cooking surface makes it simple to provide even heating. It’s also dishwasher safe, and can be cleaned with a simple brush or sponge between batches.

Silicone Solutions Blue Silicone Baking Sheet
Don’t be turned off by this bright aqua blue baking sheet; it’s an ingenious invention that not only provides even baking in the oven, but can help you reheat baked goods in the microwave in one simple step. Since it’s made of silicone, it wraps up tightly to fit into small shelf spaces when not in use, and it’s easier than ever to clean up and reuse between batches. It’s also available in a holiday red.

Cuisinart Easy Grip Bakeware
This is one of the larger baking sheets available, a heavy-gauge aluminized steel sheet with silicone easy-grip handles. It’s easy to bake up your batches and store them right on the sheet so you can tote it along to the next event; it’s also warp-resistant and can withstand oven temperatures up to 450 degrees-for safety, when you forget to turn the oven off. This one also comes with a limited lifetime warranty.

Whipping up a batch of perfect holiday cookies is simple with the right tools-and plenty of enthusiasm. Round up your favorite recipes and get going with any of these quality brands and you’ll be in production mode in no time!
