If you don't have cookie sheet?

Question

Can you bake cookies on a greased pan instead?

Answer 1

I don't claim to be an expert by any means, but I think the sides of the pan affect the way the cookies bake and they don't cook as evenly. Try turning the pan upside down, put aluminum foil on the bottom (now top) of the upside down pan, and cook them on that. This way you have a flat surface with no sides for even baking. I know it seems strange, but I've done this many times and it works well.

Answer 2

I would recommed using parchment paper on the pan that you have over using foil. I used to work with a caterer and found that the parment paper did a great job you can find it almost anywhere. I have used on a pan that was not a cookie sheet when I could not get to thte cookie sheet and it made every thing come out just fine. Do not grease the pan!!!

Answer 3

I've baked cookies in a pan before. It didn't really effect the cookies much, if at all. If the cookies spread to the edges though, you get a few with flat edges but they all taste the same anyway so who cares if they aren't all perfectly round. I don't mean to sound condescending in any way but they are called baking pans, so they are good for multi-purpose baking....

Answer 4

Sometimes when I have my cookies sheets either in the dishwasher or if I need to make another batch while one or two pans are already in use. Believe it or not, if the cookies are small enough, an upside down (giant sized) muffin tin, works excellent!

You have to watch them closer though because they tend to burn a little faster on the bottom than on a regular flat pan.

I love Silpat (silicone based pan liner sheets for baking). it is expensive but NOTHING sticks to it!

Answer 5

Honey, this may sound odd, but flip the pan over and make the cookies on that side. Keeps the sides from burning!

Answer 6

Use a few sheets of 'thick' foil, and reduce temp/time . . .
