as per my reply to amadi upthread, i am organized about essential prior assemblage. the second baking stage, however, can use some work: i often open the oven to take out or put in trays at least twelve separate times, probably fifteen. limiting factors include motley assortment of small 'sheets' (this last has been alleviated as of friday), a sole small cooling rack, and inefficient use of spread out counter space exasperated by bottleneck of aforementioned cooling rack.
luckily, my counters are sufficiently cool to safely shorten time on the rack. cleanup of trays is unnecessary due to blatant use of parchment or wax paper for lining them prior to application of cookie dough. this latter also facilitates transportation of cookies from tray to rack, rack to counter, and permits cookie dough division when trays are unavailable.
thank you for your suggestions; the use of mixers should certainly reduce the overall time.
