Crack Me Up
To make the crackled top air whipped into the creamed mixture makes the cookies rise and then fall because the amount of fat makes them unstable. 1 cup of butter, one cup of dark brown sugar and 1 cup of granulated sugar. Turn the mixer to medium and walk away for about 5 minutes. The mixture should be light, creamy and tripled in volume.

Eggies
Large eggs at room temperature are added one a time to prevent the mixture from breaking. If the eggs are cold it will solidify the butter making it lose air. I use Mexican vanilla because I like the floral notes. Mix again for a couple minutes.

Pull Back
When baking I never use a rubber scraper. If something's not mixing in quite right, give the bowl a few backwards pulls to draw the mixture into the beaters. You can also use the bowl selecter lever to move the bowl back and forth while the mixer is running.

According to Particle I
In commercial production, items that can be felt on the pallette are called particulates. Particulates are what set the cooking of the affluant and the poor people apart. 2 cups chocolate chips, 2 cups walnuts, 3 cups quick oats. (If using old fashioned oats let the batter sit for 20 minutes or the cookies will spread too much.

Puddles of Perfection
15 minutes or so. The cookies should begin to appear set but not dry, beginning to brown at the edges but still creamy and dull on top. They'll finish cooking on the baking pan after you remove them from the oven. No spatula, no rotating, no cooling rack and God Forbid, no rinsing. Its no wonder people think cooking is a lot of work. Its almost painful to see how hard some cooks make a simple job.

So the convection oven gets the cookies evenly baked despite the position of the pans? The pans on top and bottom aren't more done because they're closer to the heating elements?
I would think even with the moving, heated air, the proximity to the heating elements would make the top and bottom pans cook faster.

Proximity
The convection element is concealed in the back wall of the oven and the heat enters the oven through baffles. I have never had an issue as long as there is ample room side to side, front to back and top to bottom so the heat flows evenly. I love this range.

Now I'm missing the Jenn-Air drop-in range/oven in my condo many years ago. I used the convection oven feature to cook meat frequently, with good results, but never tried it for baking.
Maybe I'll start scanning Craigslist for a good deal on a push-in convection oven/range to replace our Kenmore.
Thanks, Kelly, for sharing your tips!

I love your posts
Kelly... your posts are wonderful. I am always so hungry and want to bake after I read your posts. I never thought about creaming the butter and sugar like this but it is logical. I usually only do it until they are combined and then the cookies, while are good, don't look as appealing as yours.

YUMM. looks great.

They look so good.
I tried printing out post #445600 on my printer,
cutting out the cookies,
and tasting them.
They were good but they left kind of a paper taste in my mouth. ... i don't know.
I'm sure they are MUCH better on your end.
