    Default Help, I'm trying to bake...

    ..and it says grease the pan, but I don't have any of the crisco type stuff. Can I use vegetable oil? Butter? Tin foil? It's the middle of the night and everyone I would call to ask is asleep, and I can't get into chat... somebody look at this and tell me what to do!

    This is turning into some kind of crazy science experiment. Why don't recipe books have troubleshooting sections? What does it mean if the cookies are overcooked and a little burned but their still all squishy and gooky and falling apart? Should I add more flour before I put more in? Or does it have to do with something else?

    Well...they'll be soft initially, regardless. Try taking them out and setting them on a rack to dry for a few minutes. You might want to turn down the oven, though.

    I wouldn't recommend adding ANYTHING unless the recipe calls for it. Cookies and cakes typically do not react well to experimentation. It's not like throwing extra cheese on top of a pizza.

    If they are getting brown around the sides, It's done.

    Don't feel bad though....I tried cooking my pizza pocket in the toaster a few minutes ago.

    Ever see those commercials where the mom and kids have "family time" by taking pre-made cookies out of a package and baking them? Do yourself a favor....never do that...ever. Make them the way you are right now. They'll remember it forever. I do.

    They're brown around the edges but the middle and bottom are still like falling apart. I know I put too much of something or not enough of something in them.... I'm just gonna stick the dough in the fridge and deal with it tomorrow.

    [QUOTE=Lena]\What does it mean if the cookies are overcooked and a little burned but their still all squishy and gooky and falling apart? [\QUOTE]

    If they are still gooey in the middle after they're cool it generally means that when u put them in, you made them too thick...like you should have spread them out more on the sheet to make thinner cookies because the inside didnt get to bake enough

    Might be your oven too. Most hone ovens aren't calibrated correctly. Although you set it to 350, it could really be at 275 or 400. It really pays to get a small thermometer to put inside the oven, in front of the window, and go by that instead of the oven's dial.

    You may have also put too much butter in the mix. Sometimes with too much butter, the edges of the cookies are thinner and burn faster than the rest of the cookie. OR...you may not have put enough flour in the cookies...the batter may be a tad too runny. Cookie dough should have a smooth, but really thick consistency. Your arm should be tired from mixing. And, don't put more than a teaspoon drop for the cookie...more will create what you have and less will make little crispy wafers.

    You may want to consider getting a non-stick cookie sheet and forgo the crisco and oil.

    Well the microwave was boxed up....So I thought maybe I could stick the pizza thing in there. It did start to get warm but all of the cheese melted on the wires inside of the toaster. I then decided why not stick a fork in there to try and get the cheese out? Yeah, not a good idea.

    But it probably would have worked if all the cheese didn't melt inside!
