Did your mom use wax paper on the bottom of her cake pans when you were a kid? Parchment paper is the same theory, just not "waxy"!
You can also line your cookie sheets with it and slide the whole batch of baked cookies off the pan in one fell swoop. If you're really dextrous, you can slide a batch of raw ones back on, but I prefer to put the paper on first, then put the cookies on top.
