Kitchen essentials for tasty recipes like these cookies:

When you head into the kitchen to make some of these great recipes you’ll want to have the best tools on hand.

I like half sheet baking pans that are quality (hello no noisy pops or sloshed cookie dough from twisting), I line my cookie sheets with silicone baking mats. These are great for all kinds of baking and not just cookies! My husband loves them for making biscuits, pizzas, and more!

Of course mixing bowls, a mixer, spatula, and some whisks should be on your list if you don’t have ones that you love. I also like to have a set of cooling racks so that my recipes can properly cool before they’re scarfed down by my family!

Let’s take a look with these step by step instructions. As always you can find the printable one sheet recipe card at the bottom of the post!!

Spray a microwave-safe bowl or with non-stick cooking spray. Add in the candy melts.

Program microwave to cook for 30 seconds. Remove the bowl from the microwave, and stir. Spray with a bit more cooking spray, stir and place back into the microwave for 30 more seconds. Keep repeating until the candy melts have fully melted.
