Parchment Paper vs Cookie Sheet
Hey bakers!
I recently faced a baking dilemma can you really bake cookies directly on parchment paper or should I stick to the traditional cookie sheet?
I've heard mixed opinions and I'd love to know your experiences and tips.
Share your cookie-baking wisdom.
I use parchment for all cookie baking. Sheet pans don't get dirty at all.
I use parchment every time and reuse it whenever possible. Makes cleanup a chinch.
Make sure to get a variety that is rated for your baking temperature. Some of them aren't good for even 400 deg F.
Either parchment or silicone mat.
The cleanest way is to line cookie sheets with flat precut baking sheets.
I always use parchment paper. I hate cleaning baking sheets. :)
Yes, baking on parchment is 100% effective and recommended.
Make sure to use a good parchment paper - one that is rated over say 425 deg F. Some are not. In a very hot oven you may see some scorching but not under the cookies because they keep the paper cooler.
