Tasting Table has been keeping a close eye on Costco's best new kitchen items of 2026. If the store stocks something that makes your kitchen more functional, we want to know. Among such items that were added to Costco's lineup this year, we couldn't help but notice three in particular that are the perfect match for holiday cookie baking season: the Tramontina 10-piece Stainless Steel Mixing Bowl Set, the USA Pan Half Baking Sheets, and the KitchenAid Artisan Plus 5-Quart Tilt-Head Stand Mixer. This trio can help you make all of your family's favorite cookie recipes with ease.

Let's start with the mixing bowls, which come in five different sizes, each with a matching lid. Their base is made of silicone, so the bowls won't be sliding all across the kitchen counter when you're working on the batter for Christmas shortbread cookies. If you take a closer look, you'll also find measurements marked on the inside of the bowls for peak convenience. "Love this set all the way to the littlest one! The lids are a great touch," reports one customer in their review on Costco's website. The two-piece set of stainless steel pans is just as impressive — the bakeware has a non-stick coating and a fluted bottom that distributes heat more evenly, features that will save you many a gray hair in your baking adventures. "Cookies baked on them are perfection," confirms a home baker in their review.

The Tramontina mixing bowls and the USA Pan baking sheets are affordable options (each priced around $30) that you can easily add to your bakeware collection — the third Costco find is more of an investment. The KitchenAid Artisan Plus mixer costs $600, and you might be better off buying this highly coveted kitchen appliance secondhand. Even so, the customer consensus is generally that the mixer is totally worth the price. "Every time I use it, my KitchenAid mixer outshines everything else I've ever had. Cookie dough? Effortless. Batter for my homemade egg bites? Stellar performance," reads a customer review on Amazon.

KitchenAid mixers are known for their many versatile attachments, which you often have to buy separately. If you buy the mixer at Costco, however, it comes with a wide range of useful accessories: the standard whisk, a flat beater, a dough hook, a pouring shield, and a double flex edge beater that continuously scrapes the sides of the bowl as you're mixing cookie dough. The mixer also comes with a 3-in-1 pasta attachment. As one Costco customer put it, "This Artisan Plus KitchenAid mixer does not disappoint!! We're a family that love to cook and bake and this KitchenAid is a great addition to our kitchen!" On that note, happy holiday baking.
