My ancient oven runs 25 degrees hot so I started baking everything on a cold sheet pan and it finally worked
Every cookie batch I made in my apartment oven came out with burnt bottoms and raw middles, and I blamed myself for months until a coworker mentioned her oven ran hot too. I tried putting the dough on a cold sheet pan straight from the freezer instead of a preheated one, and the bottoms stopped burning completely. Has anyone else figured out a weird workaround for a junky oven, or am I just getting lucky?
