The Best Pull-Out Kitchen Accessories to Make Christmas Cookie Baking a Breeze

The holidays are here, which means it’s cookie season! Whether you’re baking for a cookie exchange, gifting festive cookie boxes, or just filling your home with the smell of gingerbread and sugar cookies, having a well-organized kitchen makes all the difference.

Pull-out kitchen accessories don’t just look sleek—they maximize space, keep your ingredients within reach, and make cleanup faster so you can focus on what really matters: decorating those cookies.  Here are the must-have pull-out accessories every holiday baker should have in their kitchen this Christmas.

1. Pull-Out Baking Sheet & Tray Organizer

Perfect for: Cookie sheets, muffin tins, cooling racks

Tired of wrestling a mountain of baking sheets from the back of a cabinet? A pull-out tray organizer keeps them upright, visible, and ready to grab. Look for one with adjustable dividers so you can store everything from jelly roll pans to cooling racks. Pro Tip: Install it near your oven so you can move hot cookies straight to a cooling rack with ease.

2. Pull-Out Spice & Sprinkles Rack

Perfect for: Holiday spices, extracts, and colorful sprinkles

Cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and vanilla extract—the scent of Christmas lives in these little bottles. A narrow pull-out spice rack fits perfectly between cabinets and lets you see every flavor at a glance.  You can even dedicate one shelf to holiday sprinkles, food coloring, and decorative sugars. Because nothing says “Merry Christmas” like a dash of sparkle!

3. Pull-Out Stand Mixer Lift

Perfect for: Stand mixers and heavy baking tools

If you love your KitchenAid but hate hauling it out of storage, a pull-out mixer lift is your new best friend. This clever mechanism lets you store your stand mixer in a lower cabinet and easily lift it up to counter height when it’s time to cream butter and sugar.  Bonus - you can even mix right on the lift platform, so no heavy lifting required.

4. Pull-Out Pantry Drawers

Perfect for: Flour, sugar, chocolate chips, and nuts

Deep pantry drawers keep baking ingredients organized and accessible. Use airtight canisters that fit neatly into your pull-out drawers—label them with festive tags for a Pinterest-worthy look. You can also store mixing bowls, rolling pins, measuring cups, and your growing collection of cookie cutters here. 

5. Pull-Out Trash

Perfect for: Quick cleanups during cookie marathons

Cookie baking can get messy fast—think flour clouds and sticky frosting spoons. A pull-out trash center keeps your workspace tidy and hidden. If you compost, add a separate pull-out bin for egg shells and food scraps.

6. Pull-Out Baking Station

Perfect for: Rolling, cutting, and decorating cookies

This is the ultimate holiday dream: a dedicated pull-out surface or cutting board tucked beneath your countertop. Slide it out when you’re ready to roll dough or decorate, then tuck it away to keep your kitchen clean and spacious.

Final Touch: A Cookie Box Drawer

If you’re an avid cookie box maker, add a few drawers specifically for cookie packaging. Use one pull-out drawer just for your Christmas cookie gifting supplies—boxes, tins, ribbons, tissue paper, parchment paper, and gift tags. When you’re ready to pack your cookie boxes, everything you need is right there.

With the right pull-out kitchen accessories, you can spend less time hunting for baking tools and more time making (and eating!) cookies. Organization might not be as sweet as sugar, but it’s definitely the secret ingredient for a stress-free, joyful holiday baking season.
