Your comments

I often roll dough between two sheets of parchment paper - then I can use the top one for baking the cookies on too!
Bonus: if I'm making a pie, the size of the parchment paper is an easy way to see when I've rolled it out big enough!

That's even smarter. And you won't hit the edges of the bag.
