Baking or Pizza Stones Bake cookies on flat Baking or pizza stones. Baking stones are available at most specialty kitchen stores or online. They are much better for Baking cookies than any metal pan because they are porous and allow air to circulate evenly through your cookies while they are Baking. I recommend using scoops instead of spoons or your hands for placing cookie dough onto the Baking stones. These are also available at most specialty kitchen stores or online. They also make releasing the cookie dough onto the Baking stones easier than using spoons or your hands. Always use parchment paper when Baking cookies. Using parchment paper keeps your Baking stones clean for easier clean-up.

Check expiration dates on all non perishable supplies, so that running to the store happens in the middle of Baking. Preheat the oven and check with an oven thermometer. Follow directions on adjusting oven racks, prepping Baking sheets, and using the right Baking pan. All purpose flour can be used for most any Baking. Bleached and unbleached flours can be used interchangeably. Baking powder and Baking soda are not interchangeable. Baking powder is a combination of Baking soda and an acid. Baking soda is sodium bicarbonate. Greg Watson, author of "Everything You Ever Wanted to Know about Cooking but Never Dare to Ask" giving tip on Baking. Visit his website at www. goodcookingrecipe.
