I second Jenn’s recommendation of silicone mats. I recently picked up a silpat mat to go with my half-sheet baking pan, and I’ve turned out the best cookies ever!

It’s also great for browning things like eggplant in the oven without having to worry about greasing the baking sheet.

But the cookies… Nothing does it better. ^_^

I worked in subway when i was 18 and they used dry wax paper to bake their cookies…….the bottoms were gross….why would anyone ruin delicious cookies like that…….buy silicone mats! They last soooo long! they wash off so easily! no more overly brown cookie bottoms! i’m tellin you i could go on all day ! i bought jelly roll pans and mats from amazon a few years back ,one pan and mat was about the same price you’d pay for one of those so called non stick baking sets…..which suck! I use the same kind of baking pans my great grandma swore by …..i have some of hers and they still look like brand new even though they are over 30 years old some of them. martha stewart had dome a segment about 10 years ago on the mats …..she recomends silpat….thats the brand…i found cheaper versions that worked just as good…i’m telling you you’ll save big time….

Oh these look dangerous indeed!! I’ll have to make them when I can share them. Love the addition of chocolate chips in there too. I’ve had the wax paper smoking incident occur before. Not fun! Now I use Silpats for cookies, which are wonderful.

Those look yummy! I’ll have to try those next time I need an easy take-along dessert or snack.

And, give parchment paper a try…you can bake cookies and pretty much anything else on it and it won’t burn or smoke. And you can even reuse it several times before tossing it!

Bless your heart! Don’t worry about that. I bet most people figured you meant parchment paper. We all have those little brain freezes sometimes.

Your recipes are so delicious looking! I am going to make one this afternoon (the cinnamon and pecan one you made for breakfast).

I wanted you to know also, that I featured your blog today as a Beautiful Blog at http://beautifulblogdesigns.com

why is it that I want to make almost everything you post?? I have big plans for these…they’re so cute and portable and i bet they taste great.

And don’t feel dumb – I never had any idea if you could use wax paper in the oven or not, so I just avoided it haha.
