Tips & Warnings
For best results bake your cookies one baking sheet at a time in the center of your oven.
Begin checking your cookies sheets at the earliest baking time and keep a close eye on them until they are done.
Only place cookie dough on cool cookie sheets to prevent melting and excessive spreading.
Use heavy duty dull or shiny metal cookie sheets for best results. Avoid using non-stick and/or dark cookie sheets.
