Just a note: I noticed that flat vented cookie sheets work best for even baking. I used dark coated, side-edged cookie sheets on some of the batches and was disappointed because the bottoms of the cookies baked faster than the top. I would think in that case, that lowering the temperature and keeping a good 'eye' on them would help if that is the kind of pans you have as well. ;) PS. The cookies in the photo were baked using flat, no-sided, vented cookie sheets.
