3.5-quart KitchenAid Artisan Mini Plus ($259.99)

Small kitchens tend to be low on shelf and storage space —and hey, not everyone needs the capacity to turn out a bakery’s worth of cookies in one go. For those of us small-batch bakers (or small-kitchen bakers), there’s this 3.5-quart KitchenAid Artisan Mini Plus, which offers all the benefits of its larger brethren without the square footage footprint — or the price tag.

Plus, it still can handle enough dough for five dozen cookies at a time. If you’ve been curious, right now’s a great time to pick one up: The machine is marked down on Amazon for $120 off, bringing the appliance down to $259.99 from $379.99. 

The machines are made to mix bread dough, cookies, cake batter, and more, and the appliance comes with the accessories you need to get going, including a dough hook, wire whip, and flex edge beater. 

KitchenAid Artisan mixers are on the aspirational-homewares list/Pinterest board for many, partly because of their function but also because of their ~aesthetic~, and this mixer is as elegant as the larger sizes, with the same iconic styling and chrome accents. It comes in a wide range of colors, too, with slightly varying price tags depending on which shade you go for. As mentioned, the white is $259.99, or 32% off, as is the black matte, contour silver, and classic Empire Red (other shades are full price, so check carefully before you add to your cart!).
