Can I bake cookies without baking paper? I just returned from the store with all the ingredients for baking cookies, and now I notice that I am out of baking paper.
Is there some common household item I can use instead (Regular paper? Tinfoil? Just put them on the raw baking tray?), or do I have to make another trip to the store?
First of all, if your baking sheet is nonstick you may not need baking paper at all. If it is not, then either directly greasing the baking sheet, or putting tinfoil on it and greasing that works reasonably well as a substitute.
