Question:

Can i use aluminium foil as a replacement for wax paper for baking cookies?

I want to try to bake some cookies ( sugar cookie ), but then I don't have wax paperSo i want to ask, is it okay if i use a metal tray, and then i put a layer of aluminium foil with coating a thin layer of butter or vegetable oil, and place my cookies?? pls reply now thanks!

Answer:

Yes you canOr, as the other people said, you can bake them on the sheet pan without foilHowever, the foil makes clean up a lot easierAnother option would be to buy a silicon baking mat, called a silpat matJust lay the mat on a sheet pan and bake your cookies on the matThese mats are great and you don't need to oil themThey are reusable, cheap and make clean up a snapthe cookies never stick to themThey are a good option for parchment paper or wax paperand they have multiple uses(By the way, I've used foil many times to bake cookies and it works greatWhy the thumbs down?)
