Pantry Staples

Many of these cookie recipes call for common ingredients. Here are some of my favorites:

• Gluten-free flour: After trying several gluten-free flour blends, my current favorite is King Arthur measure-for-measure flour because it gives me the best results in terms of flavor and texture. Another popular gluten-free flour that typically performs well (though sometimes I find it to have a drier result) is Bob's Red Mill gluten-free all-purpose baking flour.
• Dairy-free butter: Made from cashews and coconut oil, Miyoko's cultured vegan butter has a great taste and is palm oil free.
• Dairy-free chocolate: Enjoy life chocolate chips are a tasty option and tend to be available at most grocery stores. You can also check the ingredients of many dark chocolate bars as some will not have dairy as well.
• Gluten-free oats: Oats add great texture to many cookies on this list. If you do not have an allergy or celiac disease, you may be alright with any oats. However, if you need oats free from gluten contamination, Bob's Red Mill offers both old-fashioned and quick-cooking gluten-free oats.
• Salt: So many cookies benefit from a little sprinkle of salt on top to balance the sweetness! I love Maldon smoked sea salt flakes, but whatever coarse salt is available at your grocery store will also work great!

Equipment

While you may already have a baking sheet and a mixing bowl, here are a few other helpful pieces of equipment for your baking endeavors:

• Stand mixer: If you are looking to upgrade from a hand mixer, or you love to bake regularly, this classic piece of kitchen equipment may be worth the investment for you.
• Cookie scoop: Using a cookie scoop can help to give very uniformly sized cookies.
• Cooling rack: Using a wire rack is the best way to get your cookies cooled quickly. This is especially helpful for gluten-free cookies as they tend to be a little more likely to fall apart when warm than their gluten-containing counterpart.
