Any home baker who’s ever attempted to bake cookies on a non-greased sheet pan knows they’ll never attempt that disaster again. Trying to dislodge stuck pieces of gooey cookies from a tray is a task no one should have to do—especially since you’ll likely be left with baked goods that are rather lopsided.
For those who swear by parchment paper as the solution might want to test out a different product, one that’s not only sustainable but also Jennifer Garner-approved. The actor and producer just posted the latest iteration of her Instagram cooking show, Pretend Cooking Show, spending the episode baking pumpkin oatmeal cookies alongside her mom and dad. This time, she requires the help of a trusty set of Silpat Baking Mats, scooping out hunks of oat-studded cookie dough onto the mats before slipping the trays into the oven.

Garner also uses a set of Le Creuset Sheet Pans to bake her cookies. The French brand known for its stoneware cookware also boasts a line of bakeware, including these PFOA-free nonstick sheet pans that come in sizes small and large. Thanks to the heavy-gauge carbon steel, the pans have excellent heat conduction (no hot spots!) and are super lightweight for moving in and out of the oven. Plus, both sizes are currently on sale.
