Hi, Claudia,
I am totally blind and have been baking cookies for years. I find that timing
and my nose are the two best guides for knowing when the cookies are done. I
line my cookie sheets with parchment paper, so I don't have to grease them. If
the recipe says "10 to 12 minutes", I check them at ten minutes, by touching
the top of the cookie gently with my finger tip. If the cookie springs back, I
know they are done. If it doesn't then I leave them in for the remainder of
the time before testing them again.
Because every oven is different, you need to test the cookies. There is a
certain fragrance to cookies that are done-hard to describe, but it is that
warm, wonderful smell of baked cookies.
Hope this helps.
Alice
