A Cookie Revelation!

Hopefully, you figured this out long before I did!  I love using the good old Nestle Toll House Recipe for my bar cookies.  But for some reason I never noticed the recipe is written to be used with a “jelly roll pan” (15 x 10-inch.)  Hmm…no wonder I always had trouble spreading the batter all the way to the edges of the pan…I don’t have jelly roll pans, I have half-sheet pans (17 x 12-inch.)  It turns out if you add an extra 1/2 recipe they will bake up perfectly in your half-sheet pans!  Yay lots of cookies for your crowd!  I’ll post the adjusted measurements below.

(Measurements Adjusted for Half-Sheet Pan, 17 x 12-inch)

My girls love to bring these to school for their birthday treat!

Thanks for spending some time in the cloud with me!  I hope these adjusted measurements are helpful for you!  Tina ( :

      Yes, for sure! They hold up well for several days! Just keep them in an air-tight container. Take care!
