Since heat rises, wouldn't the top of the oven be hotter?
.... and why can't you just set the temp lower?
1) your oven temp is to high
2) you need better cookie sheets
Try BBB they have some nice quality cookie sheets. Ive had mine for 6 years. They were $25 a piece. Worth every penny.
Along with the above suggestions also use parchment paper to set the cookie dough on.
I have good cookie sheets. I had put alum foil down on them and some Pam. Will definitely try the lower oven temp.
Oh yea grab some parchement. I think the aluminum foil is just conducting more heat to the pan is why they are burning.
Is parchment paper in the same aisle as the foil? Thanks for the suggestions everyone.

And another thing, don't buy and use that cheap crap.
I bought some of the inexpensive kind...not even sure where I bought it. That stuff was thin and didn't adequately protect the cookies from burning.
Most often I buy the Reynolds brand. It's not bad.
Recently bought a pack of parchment sheets from King Arthur Flour and that stuff is awesome. It is nice and thick and definitely does a great job of protecting the baked goods. It is good enough quality that you can use it for multiple times. I can make up a batch of cookie dough and use the same parchment-lined sheet pans to bake the entire batch. You can't do that with cheap stuff. But because you can reuse the parchment from kAF, it actually is cheaper than the crap kind.
