ok... so i finally decided what and how much to make for that dessert order i have on the 22nd... my new problem is, will the texture of my brownies change if i make a large batch instead of in a puny 8x8 square? i mean, i'm guessing that a larger pan = longer baking time which means that SOMETHING will go wrong... or not? i imagine that the sides will be done and the center will still be raw... and by the time it IS completely baked through, the sides will be overbaked and dry. same goes for the lemon bars i'm planning to make.
does anyone have any experience with making huge batches of brownies/lemon bars/whatever bar cookies and how can i make them without the risk of overbaking and drying out? or am i just overreacting again and worrying about nothing? should i just proceed as normal and think nothing of the extended baking time?
i plan to make a test batch for friday, but any tips i can get before i make it will be much appreciated ![]()
thanks everyone! ![]()

If you're going to be baking a LOT longer, then for sure the sides will dry out. I would lower the temperature, or bake in smaller batches.
