How long to cook cookies

Three things decide it, and none of them is on the clock. Answer them and the time below is yours.

Your time 11:00

How thick are they?

How do you want them?

Fan or conventional?

A fan oven runs hotter than its dial says. Sensei takes about 15% off for one.

How to tell without a timer

Out while the centres still look underdone — they set on the tray.

Chewy cookies come out looking underbaked. They firm up on the hot tray over the next five minutes; waiting for them to look done in the oven is how they end up crisp.

The app does this, then learns

The timer above is the same arithmetic Kitchen Sense runs. The part a web page cannot do is the next bit: you say whether it came out right, and the next one is closer. Free, 68 dishes, no account.
