What we cook with

The short list of tools behind the recipes on Fudge Dough. Nothing here is sponsored; each one is on the list because it gets used.

Essentials

Half sheet pans

Cookies bake evenly on heavy aluminum. Thin dark pans burn the bottoms.

Cookie scoop

Same size dough balls bake in the same time. Two tablespoon size is the one we reach for.

Digital kitchen scale

Flour by the cup can be off by a third. Weighed flour is why our cookies spread the same every time.

Silicone baking mats

Nothing sticks, no parchment waste, and the bottoms brown gently.

Nice to have

Not needed for any recipe here, but each one makes a job easier.

8-inch square pan

Brownies and blondies. Light metal gives clean edges; glass overbakes them.

Wire cooling racks

Cookies keep baking on a hot pan. Racks stop them at chewy.
