How can I tell when cookies are done?

Cookies are usually done when they are cooked all the way through. You can test by either tasting them, or by placing a small amount of dough in the oven and watching to see if the cookies start to brown, then back out of the oven.

What color should they be?
user
Most people prefer light or medium brown, but it’s OK to have them a little darker. If they are too dark, they will have a smoky taste. If you’re unsure about the color, the best way to tell if they are done is to put a small piece in the oven and watch them, or to check the texture.
