Making cookies on a pizza stone
Years and years ago, I had a pizza stone, and discovered that it was great for making thin and crispy cookies. That pizza stone cracked in half, and it was only this year that I bought another one. Can I make cookies on a pizza stone? Will all my cookies taste like pizza? Will my pizza taste like cookies?
Edit: My previous stone broke before I had made more than a few pizzas on it. I'm concerned that tastes might be retained by the stone over time; is this possible?

Answer 2
As you discovered years ago, you can of course make cookies on your pizza stone. If you are worried about taste, try putting parchment paper on top of your current stone under the cookies for a thin layer of separation. I wouldn't worry about it, though. What touches your stone from the pizza is the crust, and that's not usually a strong-tasting item.
