Some years ago I developed a recipe for cookies that knocked my socks off and part of the process of making these cookies to perfection was developing the perfect cooking scenario. I shopped quite a number of stores until I went into one that had what was for me a perfect cookie sheet. It was a Mirro Ebonware 17" x 14" with PermaCote non-stick inside & out (top and bottom). I actually bake these cookies on the bottom, not the top of the sheet, and slide the sheet on top of a large, thick bottom sheet of steel (1-16th inch thick), which always remains in the oven on a rack a bit more than 1-2 way up the oven. This leaves an insulating layer of air of about 1-2 inch between the steel bottom sheet and the cookie sheet, because the raised edges of the non-stick sheet raise it up. This has the effect of lessening any tendency of the bottoms of the cookies to burn and results in superior cookies.
Dinner Last Night 3517I can see it happening, especially around this household. Steven always has something going on and 13 oz...
The store had a good deal on these ($2.99 each, a very good deal even then), and I bought 3. I generally use them for all my baking, not just these cookies.
I'm down to my last good one. Does anyone know where I might find similar two-sided non-stick cookie sheets? I have never seen them anywhere else and my brief internet searches this morning haven't turned up anything. Thanks.
