Baking Cookies on a Bar Pan for the First Time

[lisacb77]

Just tried baking cookies on this for the first time tonight. I noticed they needed an extra minute. Is that normal?

I also noticed it made the cookies more soft & chewy than crispy like the ones directly on the stone. I assume that's usual too.

It also got me wondering if I could have just spread the Celebrate Cookie dough all over the Bar Pan with Parchment under it and then cut it with a Pizza Cutter? Might be easier?

Appreciate your thoughts

That would probably work.

I always put a piece in the pan when I'm making brownies so I can pull the whole thing out before it cools completely. Then I cut with the pizza cutter. (Got that tip on Good Eats.)

I had someone ask me how our price for parchment compared with the store. I did have an old roll in the cabinet and ours has more on it ... ours 39 feet... reynolds has 24 feet ... but it's been so long since I bought this I don't know the price in the store. I'll try and put it on my to do list and check it out. Has anyone checked. I love ours ... anything bleached makes me nervous to bake on and there's something about the feel of ours that I like better also but I'm hoping that I can also prove it's competitive price wise.
