Whenever I Make Cookies...
 

I like chocolate chip cookies. They're the bestest. But most of the time, whenever I make cookies, the edges get all burnt - I've asked around, and people warned me against putting down too much oil or too little oil when I grease the pan, warn against putting wax paper on the cookie tray....

They come out fine - really big and soft... it's just the edges that are crispy. What's going on?

I was gonna say wait does this belong here and then I was like oh wait this totally belongs here. I mean if you think about it cooking is basically artwork except then when you're done doing art you've got something to eat. I'd like to see some artsy-fartsy doodlemaker match that.

It could be that you're leaving them in the oven too long, you're supposed to take cookies out like a minute or two before they're actually done because they continue to cook after you leave them to cool. If you're waiting for them to look all the way done before you take them out then you've left them in for too long.

HAH! You assholes weren't expecting me to know that shit were you? That's right I be gettin' mad domestic all up in this bitch, like Suge Knight with a motherfucking cupcake pan.

On top of Fifth's suggestion, I have a question: What colour is the tray you're using?

I used to bake on these old, black and dark grey trays, and the edges of my cookies would burn too. But we have since bought super-duper no-stick, light grey trays, and the edges no longer burn. Just a little food for thought.

What, uh, PART!!! said, plus you could try putting down a layer of tinfoil and lightly greasing it with a little butter. Or buy one of those Silpat things.

I'm using old cookie trays, that I've had since... forever, and I'm lightly greasing them with canola oil.

I know, that's why I said you should start using butter instead.

Time to bake a cookie the size of your head.

Take a picture before you eat it.
