I learned a tip about baking cookies that has helped me cook my cookies to perfection most of the time. Have you heard this tip? Check the cookies at the end of bake time. If their tops start to crack and lines start to appear, the cookies are done and it's time to take them out. You can wait an additional minute or so until the tips of the cracks begin to brown, but DO NOT wait much longer.
