Hi, Alex, and List, Like so many things in baking, it will depend on your oven. Some ovens run hot, some cooler than the actual temperature. So, I use the timing in a recipe as a guideline, but test after the minimum amount of time. If a recipe says "10 to 12 minutes", I test after ten minutes. The touch test works well; if the cookie springs back when lightly touched, they are done. If they don't spring back, give them another few minutes. Some one mentioned the smell; this is also a good indicator. The fragrance will be mouth-watering and pronounced when the cookies are done. Hope this helps.
