Removing them from the oven when they look done

Hot cookies fresh from the oven will keep cooking until they cool down.  This means that if you wait until they look perfect to take them out of the oven, you'll end up with overdone cookies that are dry and dense!  Instead, remove them when they look like they've still got one minute to go and let them handle that last minute of bake time on their own outside the oven!  Transferring to a cooling rack immediately will also help them chill more quickly.  See how well it works when you try this perfect, classic recipe.
