Helpful Hints:

When you bake cookies, experiment with where you place the oven rack. Too low and you'll have burnt bottoms with uncooked tops. Too high and you'll have burnt tops.

Always start with a cookie or two as a trial to see how long they'll take to be done just right.

Make plenty, they go fast!
