what size jelly roll pan to use?

I found a recipe I'd like to make eventually for a vanilla Swiss roll.  Unfortunately the recipe doesn't specify what size jelly roll pan to use; all it says is to use a cookie sheet.  This tells me absolutely nothing, as cookie sheets come in various sizes with the the length and width of them.

Below is a link to the recipe for reference:

https://cookpad.com/us/recipes/168224-airy-fluffy-rich-chiffon-roll-cake?ref=search

I realize to determine what size jelly roll pan to use will depend on the measurements of the ingredients in the recipe.  I have listed the ingredients below; originally they are in metric.  I have converted them to customary, and the customary  measurements are in parentheses next to the original metric measurements.

5 egg yolks

5 egg whites

100 grams cake flour (1 cup)

100 grams granulated sugar (1/2 cup [8 tablespoons])

60 grams vegetable oil (1/4  cup, [4 tablespoons])

75 grams milk (1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon [5 tablespoons])

As I said I have no idea what size jellyroll pan to use, as the original recipe doesn't specify.  The standard size for a jellyroll pan seems to be 10" x 15" x 1" (a 1" depth).

Based on the measurements for the recipe above, would a 10" x 15" x 1" jellyroll pan suffice, or should I use a different size jellyroll pan?  If so, what size should I use? (please specify this with length and width).

Thank you.

I've checked a few recipes on the internet, and the ones that I found calling for 3/4th to 1.5 cups of flour call for a 10 x 14 or 15 size (inches) pan.  Apparently the cake part is supposed to be rather thin before baking.

You may well get much better advice from those who are much more knowledgable (wouldn't take much) than I, so if you do get other advice, I recommend following it.
