When baking, the heat element is on the bottom of the oven (the top heating element is the broiler). So when you have two trays of cookies in the oven, the bottom tray can block the heat from getting to the top tray properly.
What I did, when I was in a home oven, and assuming a 20 minute baking time, I'd put a tray in the oven for 10 minutes. After the 1st ten minutes, I'd put the 2nd tray on the bottom rack. 10 minutes later, remove the top tray and move the bottom tray to the top rack; put another tray on the bottom rack.
I'd bake 10-15 trays a day this way and it worked great.

I am from a family of 10 and didn't know there was another way to bake cookies than two trays at once. We usually made drop cookies of some sort. What we always did is load up the first tray and put it on the top rack, then load up the next tray and put the top one on the bottom and the new one on the top and just keep the rotation going.

What i do is when i have the first tray ready to go, it goes on the top rack. Then i start rolling out dough and cutting to fill up the second tray. When that is ready to go into the oven, i take the top tray, put it on the bottom, and then put the new tray on the top. This works great for me because the trays are going in at different times.

I am the oldest of 6 kids and we did the same thing. I've always told my kids that growing up poor in a large family was the best thing that ever happened to me .... I learned a lot of things that my "more financially secure" friends never had to deal with or learn to work around.

I use 2 different kinds of cookie sheets - the thicker insulated one goes on the bottom rack and the thin, single sheet goes on the top. So the lower one seems to bake slower and both trays get done at the same time. Been doing it this way for years.

what I like is that we're baking two sheets at once, but we're only pulling out one at a time, so we have plenty of time to get them to the cooling rack, only need counter space for one baking sheet instead of 2 hot ones, etc., when dealing with only one at a time.
I actually ran the numbers, too. (surprise!
