I HIGHLY recommend the SILPAT for all baking. You will never grease another cookie sheet and your cookies slide right off of them. The best investment I ever made. You can get them at Bed Bath and Beyond or several other kitchen stores.

Silpat®

	The Original Silicone mat for Patisserie Our most popular item, the Silpat® is a must for any patisserie chef or home baker. The flat, non stick baking pan liner is ideal for baking cookies and patisseries. Place the silpat on any surface when working with sticky materials such as batter, taffy, caramel, or anything your imagination allows. It won't stick, and it will save you a mess! Silpat® does not need to be greased, saving both time and money. You may have seen similar products, but the Silpat® is the original non stick silicone baking mat, first introduced in France in 1982 by our founder Guy Demarle. They are made of fiberglass and silicone. Silpat®s have a life of 2,000 to 3,000 times.* Our products conform to US regulations on food grade silicone, and are FDA, NSF®, and Kosher certified. Can be used at temperatures varying from -40°C to 250°C -40°F to 482°F *Life of product varies depending on use and maintenance.

Ok, as promised, here are the drop down the drain cookies!!! LoL :)

NO-BAKE CHOCOLATE DROPS

2 Cups granulated sugar
1/4 Cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 Cup plus 3 TBSP milk
1/2 Cup butter
1/2 Cup peanut butter
1/2 tsp vanilla
2 1/2 Cups quick oats

In a saucepan, bring sugar, cocoa powder, milk and butter to a boil, stiring. Cook 1 minute, then remove from heat. Set aside. Add peanut butter and vanilla and mix well. Place oats in a large owl, and pour in peanut-butter mixture. Mix and drop dough by large teaspoonfulls onto a cookie sheet lined with wax paper. Refrigerate

I've never tried the Silpat, although many recommend them. I generally use parchment paper. It's expensive, but if you know anyone who runs a restaurant, you might have that person order it for you from a food service company like Sysco, rather than going to the supermarket and getting the tiny little package for a big price. And, as always, I recommend the King Arthur baking catalogue for all your baking needs!

Oh boy! I have a $5 off coupon for Beth, Bath and Beyond, and one opened up nearby just a couple of months ago. And a Pier One just opened right next door to it! I predict they will be a favorite haunts of mine in the weeks to come!

Silpat is terrific product but very expensive (about $20 a sheet). William-Sonoma sells it and a similar less expensive product that I use all the time. I don't have its name but it's usually displayed near Silpat.
