These are just a few of my favorite tools & ingredients for baking:

Kitzini Silicone Baking Mats – I use these for certain types of cookies, like chocolate chip cookies, where the bottoms tend to brown a little quicker than I’d like.   And they make clean up so easy! (For other types of cookies, I prefer baking right on the baking sheet.)

NOW Coconut Oil – You can certainly get coconut oil at the grocery store any time you need it now, but this giant tub is really economical if you cook with it often!  I feel like most dairy free cookie recipes call for either this or dairy free butter spread, so they’re both good to have on hand.
Nordic Ware Baking Sheets – Because you need something to bake the cookies on, right?!
