When using two rat s, positions No. 2 and 4 work best.
When using cookie sheets place them with the long side of the
cookie sheet toward the from of the oven and centered on the
rack. When using two cookie sheets at the same time use rack
positions No. 2 and 4. The cookies on the lower rack may be done
l-2 minutes before the ones on the higher rack. You may want to
