burnt cookies are a crime

dropped in on the foodtv cookie-thon this evening just long enough to see martha stewart commit a felony. that's right -- she doled out her chocolate chip cookies onto an overly greasy, nearly black steel sheet.

this is all bad. and naturally, as anyone could predict, she got out burnt cookies, singed at the edges; they left distinct rings of grease behind when lifted from the sheet.

long-time readers know i'm no martha fan. but shouldn't one expect her to be at least competent in the cookie biz?

dear readers, when baking cookies, you can prevent such disasters by simply using insulated, light colored cookie sheets and baking parchment! this is simplicity itself, and makes it way difficult to destroy that most blessed of all homey delights, the chocolate chip cookie.
