I don’t know about y’all, but one thing that I love about this time of year is the amount of Christmas cookies, holiday treats, and festive confectionaries that are made and shared among friends and loved ones. I personally make it a tradition to bake each Christmas season, and over the years I’ve collected a few essentials that make my marathon of baking a bit easier.

In my eyes, cooking and baking is a form of love, and what greater way to spoil those you love than with delicious sweets this season? Below you’ll find my favorite holiday baking essentials, including a stunning Great Jones loaf pan, a retro-style Tupperware cookie canister, and Pyrex mixing bowls.

43 Gifts For Bakers They'll Actually Use

　　 Gorilla Grip Stainless Steel Cookie Scoop

$23 $13 at Amazon For years I used to roughly eyeball each dollop of cookie dough with a regular eating spoon, but after my cookies were different shapes and sizes, I opted to get this Gorilla Grip cookie scoop. The scoop has totally changed my baking game thanks to its 2-tablespoon capacity that makes perfect 3-inch cookies every time. It’s made from rust-resistant stainless steel and is designed with a cushioned ergonomic handle so your hands don’t get fatigued with batch after batch of bakes. “I’ve only used this once, but my cookies were perfectly even, and scooping them was super fast,” one five-star shopper shared, adding, “They looked like they came from a bakery!”

　　 Great Jones Breadwinner Nonstick Loaf Pan

$35 $28 at Amazon I own multiple pieces from Great Jones, including a best-selling the Dutchess Dutch Oven, so when I spotted a loaf pan from the brand at Amazon, I knew I had to pick it up. This striking loaf pan comes in beautiful hot pink, dark blue, and dark green colors, making it a great piece to display on your counter when you’re done. The pan is made from heavy-duty carbon steel, which is known for its ability to evenly distribute heat for perfectly cooked cakes. It measures 8.5 inches deep by 2.75 inches wide by 4.5 inches high and is safe for use in the oven up to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Did we mention it also has a chemical-free non-stick coating? “The nonstick finish really works!” one five-star reviewer wrote, adding, “Loaves release super easy, not leaving any chunks of bread behind.”

　　 Tupperware Heritage Collection Cookie Canister

$20 at Amazon Growing up, my grandmother’s kitchen was filled with Tupperware to store essentials like flour, sugar, and coffee, and this darling cookie canister reminds me of those same pieces she had. For starters, it has a retro-style design, complete with the starburst instant seal lid to keep your cookies and other sweet treats fresh. The canister features a 7.6-cup capacity, so it’s spacious enough to store a batch of cookies, brownies, or homemade snack mix. Plus, it’s BPA-free and safe to put in the dishwasher for an easy cleanup every time. A final five-star customer shared, “This canister is perfect for storing cookies or other treats. I love the way the lid closes. I have similar ones from 40 years ago and this one is just fantastic.”
