Quck baking question!

[marthamoo]

I was about to make some cookies but the recipe calls for baking parchment to line the baking trays. Is this different to greaseproof paper? Will greaseproof paper do instead? Or shall I just grease the trays and hope for the best?

Help!

greaseproof paper works OK.

Thankyou!

If your trays are non-stick you don't reallly need it, but if not a bit of grease and a sprinkle of flour on top will be fine too.

I rarely grease either though, just use a non stick baking tray/sheet!

I either grease the tray itself, or put foil on the tray amd grease that.

I depends what kind of cookies they are, and what the baking sheet is made of.

Nothing sticks to Tefal as long as it's in good condition. Cheaper 'non-stick' finishes are often useless, particularly if ageing.

Not many things stick to greaseproof paper, but virtually nothing sticks to baking parchment.

If it's something sticky, I would grease greasproof paper, or use baking parchment. But for most cookies, greaseproof on its own should be OK.

Remember to take the cookies off the tray while still warm. They stick if you let them get cold.

I grease with a bit of butter paper

How were the cookies then??

She didn't do them. She only wanted to appear to be a perfect mum.
