Hi can someone suggest a good rolling pin......every time I use my large wilton plastic roller when making cookies my cookies always tear and stick to my rolling pin, has anyone else ever experienced this........I use the no fail cookie recipe.
thx
I love my rolling pin. It is solid wood, 18 in long and about 1.5 in diameter. I bought it at Williams-Sonoma. It is so big I can roll out a lot of dough at a time. I use the plastic rings for dough thickness - they work great.
I've had a marble rolling pin for 23 years and I love it, BUT I recently got a Silpin silicone rolling pin and that thing is awesome!

Thanks!
Jackiee70 where'd you get the rings to fit the wilton roller? I got some rings from William Sonoma but they are too large for the Wilton roller, I'll try rolling the dough out between 2 sheets of wax paper, if that doesn't work, I'm going to William Sonoma and buying myself a wooden roller.
Hi babyblue, i bought it by internet, in Wilton.com website they have this rings for the roller pin we have... the link is

Here is a picture doing the technique with the 2 waxed paper, it was with my old wooden roller pin (wich marked the extremes of the dough) but at least you can see the tecnique. I love the roller pin we both have, it doesnt mark the dough
Thank you for the pic! I'll try this.
I'll also look in my local Michael's store to see if they have any rings, the only rings I remember seeing were for the smaller Wilton plastic rolling pin.
Thanks again!!
Ditto on the parchment paper. I don't use rings, but instead I roll between two strips of wood that I bought at Home Depot in the hard wood trim section. They measure about 1-1/2" wide and 24" long. I bought two 1/4" thick ones and two 1/2" thick ones. That way I can do regular cookies or extra thick ones.
My rolling pin is about 20" long so it can roll over these with no problem.
When we went to Silver Dollar City in Branson, MO, they had a booth where two guys were making and selling rolling pins. I got one that was made right before my own eyes! Made out of wood, it has the "rings" carved in the wood...it is awesome!! I had him make the "rings" the depth of two nickels and that is perfect for the thickness of my cookies. They were also making them thicker so you could roll out dough for making biscuits.
Thanks for the tips!
Kimsmom I like the wooden sticks idea, that would also be a great idea for rolling out my fondant evenly. I'm off to Home Depot to buy my sticks!
I use the smart rolling pin from countrykitchen and roll between two sheets of parchment paper. Works like a charm!! 
I was using a wooden rolling pin and loved it, but switched to the large Wilton roller so I could use the Wilton rings. I use a large piece of freezer paper on the bottom and cling wrap (2 pieces side-by-side) on top. I roll it with top and bottom on, chill it, flip it and very, very lightly brush with flour (brushing all excess off). Put the freezer paper back on (wiping off any small amount of dough stickiness first), flip it back over, pull of the wrap and...Bingo! Ready to go! The dough is nice and stiff and never sticks to the bottom. Hmm... probably more than you were asking for, but I am a bit yacky right now! Oh, I like to do thick cookies, so I bought two sets of the rings, put two side-by-side on each end and (of all things) went over them with 3M Mounting tape to give it a bit more depth. Yes, it is odd, but it gives me an even, thick cookie.
I have a cherry redSil-pin Traditional Rolling Pin, which I received as a shower gift. I love it and it looks great in my kitchen as well!!! Here's a list of rolling pin recommendations, which includes the model that I have:
