How to prevent cookies from browning on bottom?!


Question: How to prevent cookies from browning on bottom!?
Whenever I cook chocolate chip cookies (or any cookie for that matter) they get dark brown on the bottom, or light brown!. When I take them out to prevent browning, I usually take them out too early and they break apart!. What's the best method I can use to prevent browning on the bottom of the cookies!?

Thanks!Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
Use a shiny metal cookie sheet!.
Use parchment paper!.
Rotate the pan half-way thru the baking time, for more evenly doness!.
When you take the cookies from the oven, immeadiately de-pan them!.
Allow the cookie pan to cool b/f filling them with more cookies!.
Some ppl!. use "double pans" to bake cookies!. (A pan inserted inside another pan, usually the same size!.

There are a number of different reasons that work or don't work, to prevent browning on bottom!. It could be the oven heat; do you have an oven thermometer!? Keep experimenting till you get it right!.

For me, the trick is baking cookies and pie crust in a Convection Oven that always assures me of perfect browning techniques, every time!. Expect the cookies, pie crust or bread to be done sooner than you think!. It will look like it is not done, but it is!.

If you have a problem with your cookies being too brown on the bottom, avoid dark-colored cookie sheets!. Instead, use heavy-gauge metal cookie sheets with a dull finish (aluminum is ideal) or a baking stone like Pampered Chef sells!. One of their key selling points is that the stone helps the cookies bake more evenly!. I do notice a difference in the cookies when I cake them on my stone!.

Another trick I heard is to double up your baking pans, so instead of using one, put a second one underneath it!. It is supposed to help the cookies bake more evenly!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Your oven is too hot, get a cheap oven thermometer and leave it in the oven all the time, once you see how much too hot it is, compensate by turning it down!. For instance, you may need have the thermostat at 300 to get 350 Www@FoodAQ@Com

A very good option is a Silpat!. It is a silicone baking sheet liner!. My cookies turn out perfectly!. I've also used it when roasting vegetables!.

You can buy them at Williams-Sonoma or other cooking stores!.

Check your oven temp to make sure it's correct!.!.!.if it is, I suggest using parchment paper which you can find next to the tin foil at the grocery store!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Either you're cooking too hot, or there's too much sugar in the recipe (sugar burns easily)!. Check your data and check the temp on your oven with an oven thermometer!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

simply use 2 sheet pans when you bake!. same size pans!. one inside the other!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

use an airbake cookie sheet!. They are the best, and I never have this problem!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
