I didn't think much of this spatula because it seemed so small. But boy I was wrong. This is now my favorite cooking utensil, I use it for just about all cooking tasks. It's great for flipping foods, then scooping up all the juices into your dish with ease. Or perhaps to clean up the oils/leftover juices. It's basically replaced my flipper and my spatula. I do no use it with cookies, just general cooking.
