Mastering Stoneware: Tips for Perfect Cookies Every Time"

[Monty060609]

I tried to make cookies with my large bar pan tonight. I know that there are timing issues with the stones but I couldn't remember if it was longer or shorter? This is the first time that I've used it without a PC recipe.
So I gave the cookies an extra minute or two and they still weren't done. But then they cooled a little out of the oven and I put them back in for another 2-3 minutes.

Should I leave cookies in for 5 extra minutes every time?

In the "Stoneware Inspirations" Cookbook they suggest when baking items with a short bake time (10 minutes or less, such as cookies) you may want to add 1 to 2 minutes onto the baking time. I also read someplace that if the top of your item browns too quickly but is not baked through, lower the rack of your oven. I think experimenting is the only way to find out which way works best with your oven.

The first batch always seems to take a few minutes extra. After that, the stone is warmer and then mine tend to cook about right.
