Have you spent any time looking through vintage cookbooks. Go back a few decades and it becomes quickly apparent how much time our grandmothers spent baking from scratch. Most of the cookie recipes don’t tell you how long to cook them or the oven temp. You’re just supposed to know! The best trick? Use a moderate oven temp around 350 degrees and keep a watch on your cookies after 5 or 6 minutes. Don’t be afraid to experiment! Even a bad cookie can be good!
