Forgetting to line your cookie sheet

After the ingredient list, the next step of the cookie-making process that has the potential for lots of mistakes is undoubtedly preparing them for the oven.  To get this part off to a good start, make sure you line your cookie sheet with either parchment paper or a reusable silpat.  Cookies that are baked right on the hot baking tray have a tendency to burn on the bottom and are more likely to stick, especially if they have any added ingredients that could create extra caramelization, like the Kahlua in this incredible recipe.
