As a Good Cook Kitchen Expert I receive products to try in exchange for my honest thoughts and recipes. This time I was sent this gorgeous cookie baking set! That you will have a chance to win as well!
To celebrate I had my own cookiepalooza baking day which happened during a snowstorm! It was perfect! I made snickerdoodles, sugar cookies, holiday chocolate chip cookies and Double Chocolate Cherry Cookies. I asked my Facebook friends what their holiday favorites were and when my friend David sent me this recipe I knew it would be a winner. He was kind of to let me share it with you. So, armed with my new products I went and here is what I thought.
In My Sweet Creations by Good Cook Package:
- Sweet Mixing bowls : Great! I used all 3 sizes. They were perfect for my recipes, plus they have a non-slip base which worked well.
- High-tem spatula : I used this to scrape the sides of the bowls. It has a sturdy wooden handle and the silicon doesn’t scratch the bowl.
- Flex cookie turner : Perfect size and bent at just the right angle for scooping hot cookies.
- Cookie dropper: My favorite item! I would never have purchased this item and I am regretting years of cookie making without it! The cookies all came out the perfect shape and size. The big plus is that my hands didn’t get dirty and didn’t have to mess around with spoons.
- Cookie Cutters: I love that they have a good-sized pull handle in the middle. Plus I used the sugar cookie recipe that came on the box and I must say, “It’s quite tasty!”
