Burned 3 batches of cookies before my grandma dropped the oven temp hint
She told me ovens run hot after 10 years and to knock 25 degrees off any recipe. Now my chocolate chip cookies don't look like hockey pucks anymore. Anyone else have a family member who saved their bake day?

Man, the 25 degree tip is gold. I once tried to bake cookies for a party and they came out looking like little charcoal briquettes. My mom finally told me the same thing about older ovens, and I felt so dumb for not realizing it myself. I actually went and bought an oven thermometer to double check, and yeah, my oven was running about 30 degrees hot. Your grandma probably saved me from a few more hockey puck batches too.

Maybe it’s not just older ovens, some newer ones have hot spots that mess with baking too.
