I am monster, I tell you.
That is certainly what we say behind your back all the time, msbelle. "That msbelle, such a monster." "But the NICEST monster!" "Well, yeah!"
I go online sometimes, but everyone's spelling is really bad. It's... depressing.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The cookies are for me, yes?
If I wasn't so embarrassed about the poor yield (only 1/3 survived coming off the baking sheet!) or if I had the address (since I have tea and a drawing at least for you too) mebbe.
I have pretty much achieved what I need to with the oatmeal cookies, but I don't know if it's worth experimenting with the cookie press. What do I need to fix WRT the sheet? Since you're not supposed to use a greased baking surface, I tried removing them immediately like one recipe said, or waiting a little like CI said, and I don't think either made the difference. Neither did the sheet itself.
It is a tasty recipe, though. I tossed a couple True Lemon packets into the CI ingredients. Because why not lemon?

Luckily I have Norah Jones playing, lambic in my crystal wine glass, and fb games to play for the next half hour. The bed for me.

Because books.
That sounds soothing, msbelle. Even if I don't know what lambic is.
ita, what kind of cookie sheets do you use? I have a couple I got at IKEA, cheap, and I love them. They're non-stick but not dark and nothing ever sticks to them.

That mac. Sigh. I'm pretty sure your job description is Wicked Witch for the next few years. Does it amuse you that he's making me think of my friend's cat, Kittyboy? When I go to catsit, he follows me room to room to Pointedly Sit With His Back to Me. If I walk around in front of him, an ear goes back and he turns around. Because I am not the right person. Dork.
ita, parchment paper? I love that shit. I'm a total convert.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I think I would try parchment paper, transfer the paper and cookies to a rack and use a fresh piece for the next batch. That approach has worked for other things that tend to stick to the cookie sheet.
Eta: parchment paper x-post!

I have not had as good luck with the Silpat. But that was, if memory serves, a matter of baking things that were topped with sugar that melted and caramelized and bonded with the Silpat. Or maybe there was fruit involved? Something that made for syrup.

Duct tape is cheaper and doesn't leave permanent marks.
Every time I read about duct tape, I think of Laura's kids and the duct taped hair.
I'm so DONE with cookies at this point. And cupcakes.
There were about 30 kids at the party. That's a lot, right? Because I'm totally blown away and worn out.
