You're an evil genius.

As you might have guessed by now, I come by it honestly.

The secret ingredient for the best shortbread ever is *whispers* a couple of ounces of cornstarch.

You're all the way in Indiana. The shipping gets prohibitive.

While I am not an expert, I can tell you that in my research to try and find The Best Cookie Sheets Ever, what I have gleaned from actual experts is this: the air bake sheets insulate the cookies too much and cookies don't get all golden brown on the bottom. (in my experience they are also cheap and warp easily)

My research also says that non-stick is also not the best, as they tend to be too dark and cook the bottoms of the cookies too much. (I suspect the overbaked cookies from non-stick cookie sheets is what started the air bake craze.) But I've seen a lot that don't look very dark, so I dunno.

I just started using non coated cookie sheets with parchment paper. The parchment paper is hardly any work and it's even better than any non-stick sheet I've used.

That said, actually I used both my old air bake sheets and my new non-coated sheets to make snickerdoodles last night and I didn't really notice much of a difference.
