I bought this rolling pin because I was baking sugar cookies for the holiday season. I wanted to use cookie cutters, but didn't have a rolling pin. I figured that since this said "nonstick" and it was more expensive than its competitors, it was better in quality and wouldn't stick to the dough (which was worth the extra money by itself).The cookie dough DID stick to this rolling pin. I tried covering the rolling pin in flour but the flour wouldn't stick to it (go figure!). It's sturdy and very functional as a rolling pin. Just don't make the mistake I did of thinking it won't stick to cookie dough.
