You can do so many tasks with a stand mixer. A Kitchen-Aid is the gold standard but there are a lot of brands out there. I use mine for mixing cookie dough like Chewy Toffee Cookies. I also use the stand mixer for shredding chicken for Rosemary Chicken Salad Sandwiches.
Obviously you need half sheet pans for baking cookies like Classic Peanut Butter Cookies. But, half sheet pans also come in handy for making savory things like Spicy Shrimp Nachos.
Use spatulas for mixing up dough or scraping sauce out of a food processor. My favorite sauce for making in the food processor is perfect on nachos or for making quesadillas.
Making baked goods always turns out better when you’re weighing your ingredients instead of relying on the measuring cup method. You’ll want exact amounts of flour when you’re making treats like Lemon Shortbread Cookies or Pumpkin Spice Scones.
