I baked a double batch of cookies tonight, to take to work. And discovered something amazing.
I thought my little cookie scoop was the best thing going--like a miniature spring-loaded ice cream scoop that saves me so much fiddly work and smears. But I've found something else.
Parchment paper.
Why didn't I know how much easier it made baking cookies? No mess--in fact, I can lift all the cookies off the pan at once to start cooling. No burnt bits left behind.
No ineradicable stains on my brand-new, expensive, "non-stick" cookie pans.
Yes, it's wasteful, and I can't even recycle the paper as my apartment has no such facilities. But I don't care, and it is biodegradable.
And the cookies are pretty good, too.
