Well-its all math!
so lets say you want to use a 17 x 10 and the recipe calls for a 13 x 9.
170 inches versus 117 inches which is roughly 30% more. so if you 1 1/2 the recipe you will be fine. What if its a 9 x9? that's 81 versus 170. that means you need to ouble.
so I spend my time working out the doubles triples etc., because even though I want to triple, perhaps things like volume in the food processor or mixer keep that from being a reality-so then I do things like triple and half. this is a typical recipe work up:

Happy cooking cookies day! I can't wait for the goodies. My favorite are the Italian Chews and Melting Moments. just thought I'd let you know so if you have any left over, you can squeeze them in my box --one I assume I should expect to receive?
Love ya, your sister Joelle
