Hi Jean, I had the same question yesterday but didn't ask and went ahead and made cookies anyways. Here's what I did. I just did a sample bath starting my time at the lowest according to the cooking instructions. The cookies that I made had a time of 9 to 14 minutes or golden brown so I put a couple of uncooked dough drops on the cookie sheet and started at the 9 minutes. When I took them out, they weren't quite done so I did the rest of them at 11 minutes, going up by 2 minutes and they turned out perfect. Remember to preheat your oven well or this won't work. Hope this helps a bit. Others may have a better method but, this worked for me.

I understand the reason for the variance because not all ovens bake the same way but again how do I tell as a blind person when a cookie is done?Jean -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Shannon Wells Sent: Monday, October 03, 2011 11:52 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [CnD] easy sugar cookies Sugar Cookies 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 1 cup butter, softened 1 1/2 cups white sugar 1 egg 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1.
