I've become a big fan of unbleached parchment, too. I also was given a Silpat. At first I wasn't sure, because on some recipes it seemed to actually extend cooking times, and I was afraid I'd forget and cut on it. But for some of these delicate GF cookies, it works great. And I store it upside down hanging on a 2.5 gallon of spring water, so cats do not walk or sit on it.

If you really enjoy making cookies, something to think about when the kitchen needs a special gift?
