Heavy-gauge cookie sheets are always the right choice. You can scrub them clean, they don't warp and they conduct heat evenly.

1. SHEET TALK

I have several from Chicago Metallic and Nordic Ware. Always choose silver metal over dark; you'll get more control over how quickly things brown that way. -Eshun Mott NORDIC WARE 3-PIECE BAKER'S DELIGHT SET, $30, AMAZON.CA.

2. SMART COOKIE

I always have a metal spring-loaded scoop or two on hand for making cookies. They're super helpful for portioning dough consistently, evenly and quickly and there's no need to grease them.

3. PERFECT FIT

Just Roll With It

I AM DEEPLY OPPOSED TO DESSERTS that are fussy in preparation or decoration and lacking in taste payoff. But a yule log, also known as a bûche de Noël, is as spectacular to eat as it is to look at. This airy, cream-stuffed sponge cake is hands-down my favourite holiday dessert. (Ask anyone who has ever been to my house in December!) A glossy ganache bark, a handful of sugared cranberries and a few sprigs of rosemary make this seasonal stunner look like it came from a fancy bakery, but it's actually totally doable at home.
