Make sure you preheat your oven atleast 10 minutes. Place your cookies on a sheet lined with parchment paper.

Try baking them at a lower heat. I find if you let them cook at a lower heat it takes a little longer but it cook evenly and make sure you put them in the middle rack one cookie sheet at a time.

That sounds to me like the oven was too hot, or the rack was too low in the oven.

I know my oven runs 25-50°f hotter, so I have to reduce all my recipes at least 25°f to compensate, so nothing burns. Lowering the heat will allow the inside to fully cook before the bottom burns.

That's too bad. If it had worked, then she could have used the dish basket as a cooling rack for the cookies. I like a multi-tasker.

She washed it first, silly. :)

She was lucky that it didn't catch on fire. It just melted a little bit and the cookies stuck to it.

LOLOLOLOL! But did the old cookie sheets figure into his death?

The Sil Pat is expensive but at Target they sell a red sheet that works like a Sil Pat but isn't that pretty gold color. I don't think it'll turn the cookies red to use it so it might be worth a try.

As for the old cookie sheets, I bet you could arrange pretty plates on them for a charming tablescape. Stack them artfully and dazzle your friends with your creativity.

My ex-husband is dead (I was not convicted!) so what should I do with my old cookie sheets?

the trick that my Mom taught me is this: after you take the cookies out of the oven, rather that using a cooling rack, use a spatula to slide them of the baking sheet and place them down on some tin foil that you laid on your countertop. This actually prevents some air from getting under the cookies. Sometimes the air can cause the cookies to harden so I find that this helps

I only use those cookie sheets that are insulated with air (AirBake is a brand - also Wilton makes one). They prevent brown bottom. I also place a sheet of foil on the pan ungreased. When the cookies are done, I take the cookie sheet from the oven to my counter and slip the foil with the cookies right onto the counter to cool. If they stay too long on the sheet, they continue to bake from the heat of the metal. And of course, never put raw cookie dough on a hot sheet. The dough will spread resulting in uneven cookies. I have an extra cookie sheet to rotate so that each will cool between batches. Have fun!

Not a Silt Pat, silly! She has a Sil Pat! It's made out of rubber and is pregnant with Sil, which is a kind of plastic that keeps things from sticking. There really expensive though, so I just use Pam For Baking.
