Size has a lot to do with it, too. But, as stated, practice makes perfect. If my cookies aren't hot to the touch in the middle, then they aren't done. The trick, and yes it's annoying, is to let them cool and see if they are done. If not, then you got to bake them longer the next time. With the sugar cookie recipe I posted, if you make them tiny, like a teaspoon they will take about 9 minutes in my oven, but I make them much bigger cause I like big cookies and they take 15 minutes. I've baked a lot of cookies and still get it wrong. Keep on keepin' on. :) Hope this helps.
