Sometimes the oven has not cycled enough times to get the temperature even. My repairman says let it cycle....turn off and on three times....before trying to bake. Seems like a waste of energy to me, but it seems to work too.
I recently bought three large cookie sheets from Copper Chef. The baking surface is a patterned basket weave. They bake wonderfully where all the others were having problems. Now that I've got cookie baking figured out, I'm trying to come down with diabetes and cookies are way down the list of things to eat.

Bake just two or three cookies on the first pan in. This i call my trial run and fewer hockey pucks. This lets you have a better idea of baking time, look of the cookie, and if they spread too much or too little. Works for me. Also allows for a taste test while you bake the rest!

I love my air bake cookies sheets, and the first tray in the oven is always put in at least 3 minutes short on recipe time. I can add more time if needed but you sure can’t take it back if they baked too long. Love Christmas baking but break it up over several days.

I also got at the same time a 1000 sheet package of parchment paper. It is for the large pans, so I cut each sheet in half. I have a life time supply of it.
Professional products are worth it to me.

I have new copper cookie sheets but decided to try using parchment paper on them. Found it helps the biscuits and/or cookies slide off easy and fast clean up. Love my new copper cookie sheets as I rarely make cookies without having issues on the baking of them. Good to know not to use different ones during the process.

We have a Sheetmetal shop and for our first married Christmas we made Stainless Steel cookie sheets for all the women in my life. Most still have them. I still have my 2 and they are my favorite. I rarely test anything, so making a test cookie sounds like something i will never get around to doing!
