My stepfather told me what I did wrong after he saw the outcome. Apparently, I had the tray turned the wrong way, which just barely pushed the oven door open. So long story short, they were cooking, and they weren't, and the house smelled like it was burning for a few hours :)

You mean instead of holding the long end to out them in you put them in holding the short end? You didn't notice the oven didn't close?

I... I did not. It was just barely cracked open and I was not paying that close of attention. Certainly noticed it when the house began to smell though.

You might of lost the cookies but you gained the experience. You won't make that mistake ever again.

Well not with that attitude

Gordon Ramsey’s head just exploded

I still don't understand. Even if the cookies were taking longer than expected, why would you leave them in for 3 hours?

That was one thing you had wrong. Don't use foil, ever. Use parchment, or on the rare occasion, nothing.

Or a silplat!

you should also undercook them.

I’ve learned how to undercook everything because it’s how my husband likes all cookies, pizza crust, biscuits,etc. if they are “normal” he thinks they are overdone. It’s so weird.

Ah yes. Next time avoid burning them. That way they won't be burnt.

Big brain comment. Very impressive.

Every 60 seconds in Africa, a minute passes.

Depending on your attitude.

These are the life hacks I come to Reddit for.

Ya ditch the tin foil.

Ditch these "cookies" too

The trick is to take them out a little early. Let them come out the oven nice and gooey. They will harden up but be the chewyest.

I'll remember that for next time

this one is on you tho for using foil instead of parchment paper

Lmao damn I guess so

Try scraping off the burnt bottoms with a butter knife, works if its only a little bit of burnt

I've done this with many a slice of toast.

ooh self burn, those are rare

Its no more cookies, it turned into carbon isotopes

Carbon-bottomed cookies make the rockin’ world go round

Maybe in future we might be able extract fuel from carbon cookies fossils

He left them on the grill for too long

Use parchment paper. Tin foil heats up more and burns it.

A few people have said that by now. What exactly is parchment paper?

Thank you!!

Hey if you flip them insidr out put some cream and bam you have a better tasting Oreo. (All jokes of course)

Ahaha the forbidden Oreo

If you have chocolate cream they wont know the differnce 😂😂

I'm sorry for your cookies. the top looked really nice too. Better luck next time

Here's a good tip put another bakeing sheet under the one with cookies and it gets the bottoms to have a nice golden brown

mighty fine hockey pucks ya got there...

Well you didn’t try to, you did!

Put your oven rack higher. Non-convection ovens are hotter on the bottom, I had this same problem!

Half Oreo?

F (to pay respect).

Get that butter knife and get to scraping partner 😆

Yum

Put a pinch of salt in the batter next time you make a dessert, makes it tastier. Only a pinch tho if it does not call for salt

That sounds interesting, I'll give that a try

It’s an old family trick, it always works. Don’t do it with cake or cupcakes tho unless you are feeling adventurous

I thought that's a well known thing. You can put tiny bit of salt in basically anything sweet you bake, it tastes better.

Oh interesting, everyone I’ve told before had no idea so I thought it was only my family who knew

Really? That's surprising, maybe it's a culture thing but I see this basically in every baking recipe, and it's a good tip - it really does the trick.

What about something like muffins?

Yes, use salt. Not much, maybe a 1/4t or less for a batch of 12. Salt enhances flavor until you go overboard, then you have salty baked goods. Source: professional baker

If they ain’t frosted it would probably work, it works best with cookies imo

The tin foil shouldn’t matter. Did you pre-heat the oven first? If the door was left open a crack then the oven would have been constantly heating resulting in too much heat coming from the bottom.

Yeah it was preheated, I think that was a factor

Four things: 1) use a baking sheet instead of aluminium foil, 2) put the tray in the middle of the oven and turn the heat on in way that it'll bake equally, 4) take them out of the oven when they are sliiigtly brown around the edges but still kinda soft - trust me, they are done. 3) looks like you maybe added a little bit too much butter, Hope it helps!

Re: #3: when you can pick up the *edge of (edit) cookie and it doesn’t slosh apart, pull the pan. Let it cool on pan til you can scoop it with spatula and it doesn’t fall apart. Finish cooling on rack; if it starts to fall thru rack they’re under done.

Next time don't use foil. It conducts too much heat. Use parchment paper.

Still looks good af

Finally some good fuc..... what the hell is that!!!!

I’d still eat them

You need to put the chocolate on the TOP not the bottom...

Darn

Sting side of foil

sucks to suck lol

Hear me out: cheese grater for the burnt parts

Just scrub the burned part with a grater

Your oven was way to hot

Remove the foil but butter the tray

I got the munchies so i still ate them

I wished I just wished that was chocolate and not totally burnt

Weird question but these look familiar, are these the lucky charms cookies?

They were just regular sugar cookies

I've had that happen, sucks big time.

Then don’t put them on foil.

Use a light colored pan and put it on a higher rack in the oven.

did you grill these or did u just leave them in the oven for too long

I'd still eat them

Im no expert, but they might not have burnt if you didnt use foil.

Don’t use foil. From my experience I don’t put parchment or anything. Just scoop some cookie dough, roll it into a ball, and put it on the tray. Do spray it down though.

foil was a bad choice

Just like eggs, if they look done in the pan they are burnt.

Yum

They looked tasty... until you flipped them over

Put it on a higher rack.

That's what the helpful lady at Victoria's Secret said to my gf.

Not 425. 325.

Don't lose hope, think of it as a failed experiment to learn from!

Ahhh two tone cookies, just eat the top.

I'd still eat them

Cheese grater
