  • Patent number: 5494253
    Abstract: A cookie sheet device formed of multiple, closely stacked, heat-conductive, substantially rigid, flat sheets is disclosed, each sheet having a plurality of openings therein adapted to receive removable cookie molds. The sheets are stacked in superposed fashion utilizing a short distance above the next lower sheet sufficient to allow cookies in the lower sheet to rise in normal fashion yet to leave very little excess distance between the top of each cookie and the bottom of the molds inset into the upper sheet. When inserted into a baking oven, the temperature of each set of molds is thus kept substantially the same, allowing for even baking of cookies in each sheet. While more than two sheets may be used, (generally in commercial size batches) the preferred device utilizes two sheets only. The openings in the sheets may be circular or square or otherwise shaped dependent upon the shape of the outside portion of the molds being used.
