I usually cool the cookies either on cooling racks like you do a cake, or
take paper towels or aluminum foil, put on the countertop and place the
cookies there; then after say, five or so minutes, flip them over. that is
how Mom used to do it all the time. It also helps when making the cookies to
have them as close to the same size as possible and place them uniformly
apart on the baking sheets. If using more than one pan at a time, rotate
them mid way through the baking procedure. Your nose helps to determine
doneness, and it is a good idea to make two or three on a sheet as your
"test" cookies. Hope this helps.

Thanks Alice,
I have parchment paper here, so I will definitely try that.
What do you cool them on?
I do not have wire racks currently?

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
