Can you blame burnt cookies on the cookie sheet or is it person?

* The Cookie Sheet: A dark-colored cookie sheet can absorb more heat, potentially leading to faster browning and burning. If it's warped or uneven, the heat distribution might be inconsistent.

* The Person: The person baking is ultimately responsible for:

* Following the recipe: This includes the baking time and temperature.

* Monitoring the cookies: Checking them regularly to prevent over-baking.

* Using the right oven: An oven that's running too hot will definitely contribute to burnt cookies.

It's more about the combination: A slightly too-hot oven coupled with a dark-colored cookie sheet and a distracted baker can lead to burnt cookies. But, even the best baker might end up with a few burnt edges if they're not paying close attention!
