Never stick to the time given in the cookie recipe. If it says 10 min, give it 8. This is kind of touchy though, because you have to kind of know your oven. If it starts smelling of cookies, it is more than likely they'll be ready pretty soon. Also, always stick to the recipe temperature. I always figure there is a reason why they put that info. I know this sounds crazy, but don't stay in the kitchen while they bake if you can help it. That way, the smell stays fresh, and you can tell if anything is happening in the oven; like if they're burning.
