Hi,

Can any one tell if using a slipmat (cookie mat) and a insulated(air) cookie sheet together would be ok? Or are these mats used just on reg. cookie sheets? How will my cookie differ using these two together on insulated sheets and on regular cookie sheets?


Thanks,

Mumu

I never did that, but all cookies are a little soft and flexible until they cool, so I would say the surface they cool on is what determines if the cookie bottoms are really flat.

Can any one tell me if by using slipmat if you have to add additional time to baking? Been reading and some say yes and others say no. Can anyone answer this for me? Also what about non stick pans is it ok to grease and flour them and also ok to use parchment paper in these as well?




THANK YOU,
MUMU

No, not really.

Yes, yes, and yes. But know that when you're done, more of that grease and flower is gonna be stuck to the food than if you would have used a regular pan.

I would advise against using a silicone baking mat in conjunction with an insulated pan. Insulated pans don't conduct heat well and using a baking mat on top of that has always yielded mediocre results for me. In fact, using an insulated pan has never really yielded high quality results. I'm not sure what they are good for - they cost more, slow down baking, and don't brown well (unless they are darkly colored - then they brown and bake slowly - a bad combo). Just get a non-insulated pan. Oh, if you want really flat cookies than the insulated pan is probably good since butter cookies will tend to spread on them since they don't cook as quickly.

I saw somewhere that some people like their pale white butter cookies to be the same color on both sides. I personally don't get, but I think thats the reason for insulated baking sheets.
