I only read of using parchment paper for baking cookies in the last very few years. Why use it? It is something else to BUY for $$$$. I never found cookie sheets that hard to clean.

I do use cookie sheets but have never bought any as I inherited enough for what I make at a time. They are different shapes and sizes.

I have always baked my cookies on Nordic Ware half sheet pans. They fit precut parchment paper perfectly, bake evenly, I’ve never had an issue using a spatula to remove the cookies and they are ATL recommended.

America's Test Kitchen!! Your links are labeled wrong, the Vollrath is labeled as USA Pan and vice-versa.
Also, While you got the Vollrath for $33, they want $47 for it at the link you provided 🙂

Hate when they indent their logo on the bottom of the sheet and that transfers to cookies placed there otherwise it takes up space unnecessarily. If the log needs to be impressed put it on the rim, not the bottom of the cookie sheet.

why do the cookies look like they were baked uneven

I went to the restaurant supply store many years ago and bought two "cookie" sheets with 1" rims on all four sides. They're heavy weight, don't warp, and hold 3 dozen 2.5" cookies. I'm happy with what I have.
