Oven Temperature
Generally, cookies are baked in a moderate oven — 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) — for 8 to 12 minutes, depending on the size of the cookie. For chewy cookies, allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 3 to 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
It will prevent the cookies from sticking. Oven tray is fine, make sure you have parchment paper or else, the cookies will stick on the tray. a pizza pan would work you need something flat and solid not the tray or aluminum foil.
For cookies, simply use a small spatula to transfer the cookies directly to the cooling rack. A spatula will help keep the warm cookies intact during the transfer. For cakes, invert a wire rack onto the top of the cake pan. Flip the rack and pan (That pan is still pretty warm, so don’t forget your oven mitts!)
What can I use instead of a baking rack?
Make your own roasting rack using cylinders of aluminum foil. To do this, simply roll three to five pieces of aluminum foil into sturdy, tight cylinders. Lay them across the base of the pan, mimicking the layout of a traditional rack. That’s it!
When cookies aren’t spreading, it means that there’s too much dry ingredient (flour) soaking up all the liquid. … If you’re in the middle of baking a batch and the cookies still aren’t spreading, remove them from the oven, and use a spoon to slightly flatten them out before returning them to the oven.
Most cookies are still soft when done (they harden as they cool) and will continue to bake on the cookie sheet once removed from the oven. Remove cookies from the cookie sheet as soon as they are firm enough to transfer, using a spatula, to a cooling rack or paper towels to finish cooling.
The answer is yes; you can cook cookies on aluminum foil. Recipes for cookies differ, but most require a greased cookie sheet greased, so the cookies won’t stick to the sheet or burn on the bottom. You can use parchment paper, aluminum foil or place the cookie dough directly on the greased cookie sheet.
