For baking cookies, non-stick baking sheets with not too dark a finish are generally a good choice. If you use non-stick baking sheets, watch carefully or your cookies may brown quickly. Shiny aluminum sheets will tend to produce soft-bottomed crusts with more even browning. Dark carbon-steel sheets will absorb heat and create crisp crusts.

I want the plain, shiny, flat aluminum sheets. I have 5 old ones but I've never stopped looking for more. I WANT THEM.
I have 6 of the big, heavy, shiny pans with 4 edges but I don't like them as much as the plain flat.
I've searched all over - including ebay - for more of the plain, flat ones but I can't find any. And I never use anything without parchment :-)

The trick is to ALWAYS use parchment paper. It helps no matter what type of cookie sheet you're using. And you can use parchment paper more than once! Use it until it starts getting tan around the edges. Simply wipe off with a dry paper towel after each use.

I love aluminum sheets better than any other cookie sheets. I have difficulty finding them and I would like to purchase a couple more.

I found my cookie sheets at Wal Mart several years ago.. They're the best I've ever had, large & similar to a jelly roll pan, lipped edges. I always line them with parchment paper, no fuss, no mess. I'm sorry I don't remember the brand, ?maybe Nordicware?, not cheap but not out of line either. Picked some up for our girls also after seeing how fantastic they were. Have never been disappointed with cookies from them but have dumped several other types of cookie sheets. They are definitely aluminum, but heavier, partially due to size, than you'd expect. Williams-Sonoma also has a nice line but they are VERY pricey. If you don't live near one, you can go on line & view.

Your local tinner or sheet metal shop can and will make any size or shape cooky sheet in any gauge metal you desire at a lot less money than standard available cooky sheets. I have a Viking stove with a large oven. I had my aluminum cooky sheets made with 3 sides and 1 open end. Also had jelly roll pans fabricated and several deep square heavy gauge sheets made for brownies and Texas cake. They far surpass anything a store carries at a reasonable price. The price of aluminum has risen, but one can still save. I also have 1 large air-bake. It's OK but not worth what it cost.
