Offer:
You come make cookies at my place all day everyday.
In return, I shall eat your cookie, and give you many compliments.
Counter offer: you make the cookies per the recipe. In return, I shall have a cookie and give you compliments on a job well done!
Counter counter offer. I burn the cookies, because I'm bad at ovens, and we somehow eat my burnt pancakes while trying to figure out how I made cookies and it came out burnt pancakes.
Counter counter counter offer: I mail you cookies. And in return, you buy parchment paper or a silicon baking tray so you can't burn cookies.
Are you using parchment paper or a silicone baking mat? Helps avoid the burn.
If you use parchment paper and you smell your cookies starting to burn, you can whip them all off the cookie sheet at once to stop the burning. Like onto a table if your rack isn't ready. I have even pulled the parchment off straight into the freezer, when I had a shelf in my old unit. Saved a batch of shortbread that way. Obviously you move them onto a rack to finish, but you've gotten that hot metal away from them.
