Best Baking Sheets for Holiday Cookies
Product comparison guide.
Holiday cookies will tell the truth about your baking sheets. If a pan warps, burns the bottoms, or refuses to clean up, you will know it right about the time the second batch needs to go in.
For cookies, I like light-colored aluminum baking sheets because they heat evenly and do not brown the bottoms too fast. A half sheet pan is the size I reach for most. Nonstick pans are easy to clean, but I still prefer parchment paper for consistent baking and less scrubbing.
Rimmed baking sheets are useful because they do more than cookies. You can roast vegetables, bake bacon, toast nuts, and carry things from counter to oven without worrying. A cooling rack that fits inside the pan is a wonderful little bonus.
If you bake every holiday season, a good set of pans is worth it. You do not need fancy. You need sturdy, even, and easy to clean.
