Baking Pans

The best baking pan for use with our cookie recipes is a shiny baking sheet with at least one side open.  Flat baking sheets are the best. 

Cookie sheets with nonstick coatings may cause the cookies to brown too quickly while baking.  Many manufacturers of these sheets suggest lowering the baking temperature by 25 degrees.

Insulated cookie sheets are fine for cookie recipes; they may require just a little more baking time because the insulating properties keep the cookies from becoming too brown on the bottom.
