Waxed paper is coated with.....wax. it will melt in the oven. It can work, but you need a good coating of flour under the paper to help prevent sticking.

A much better choice is parchmant paper. No wax, and it works perfectly. You can buy it in precut circles-fairly expensive. Or, you can buy a case of it (1,000 full sheets) for about $35. It will last years for the average home baker.

If you leave it to cool too long, the wax will re-harden acting like a glue. Just set it in the oven for 30 seconds or so (just long enough to soften it), and then remove.
