Spent $40 on a fancy silicone baking mat and it ruined my cookies

I bought a name brand silicone mat last month from a kitchen supply store in downtown Portland. The package said non-stick and reusable, but my chocolate chip cookies spread out into one giant thin sheet. I followed the recipe exactly like I always do. Has anyone else had trouble switching from parchment paper to those mats?

My $15 mat from Target works fine, I just sprinkle a little flour on it first.

@wyatt_chen86 the flour trick works until you forget and dump the whole bag on there. then it's just a dust bowl in your kitchen. i learned that one the hard way when my mat turned into a slip n slide.
