lol Ruthie...yes I've had problems with cakes too but for some reason the cookies are just the worst! I just learned about parchment paper, I did use them on the last shortbread try and even though the cookies weren't great, the bottoms looked very nice!!!!
My grandmother was an amazing baker...unfortunately my mother paid no attention when she was in the kitchen and had nothing to pass down or else I could be an amazing baker as well! Darn...i'll just have to learn the hard way
