cookies, silicone baking mats & you (win a baking mat!)

I bake a lot of cookies. No joke. I probably made like … oh… 12 dozen + recently for the SD Food Bloggers Bake Sale. I used two kinds of cookie sheets – big ones and small ones. I used silicone baking mats for some… and not for others. And it sure does make a difference!

You’ve probably seen my typical “red” baking mats on the blog many times to make cookies like this:

Or like this:

My trusty baking mats have always been there for me. But… I’ve noticed they’re starting to get kind of deformed while baking and I recently picked up some new silicon baking mats.

Okay, so I didn’t actually bake any Oreo’s… but I needed a prop! I didn’t have any cookie dough on hand so Oreo’s are the stand-in today.

These new silicone baking mats look promising. They have a nice feel to them and stick right down into the cookie sheet. I’m hoping they’ll see me through lots and lots of cookie baking in the future!

I have one extra silicone baking mat for one lucky reader so you can also bake to your heart’s content and not have to worry about stuff sticking to the pan.

  1. Chocolate chip cookies always have been (and probably always will be!) my favorite baked treat indulgence. I could eat them every day!

  2. I love my SWEET baked treats. Chocolate chip cookies with nuts. Just simple and delicious. =)

  3. My favorite baked treat is soft pretzels! With a little apricot mustard dipping sauce, I could eat a whole batch, no prob! Thanks for the opportunity.

  4. Oh dear this is difficult, probably chocolate chip cookies with my grandmother’s crown royal glace brushed on top!

  5. Pimento cheese rolls is for sure my fave baking treat. Haven’t made them in a while may need to remedy that soon!

  6. My favorite baked treat is my grandmother’s banana bread, adapted from a well-loved Joy of Cooking recipe from her time, gussied up with a pinch of cinnamon and swirl of Trader Joe’s Cookie Butter spread. Always wanted a silpat mat to make fruit leathers with, though!
