Best Answer

These are not perfect solutions, but merely hacks that could work.

Make the outer biscuits slightly bigger to increase the cooking time needed.
Let the inner biscuits cook for a few minutes, and then add the rest of the biscuits.
Use aluminium foil to shield the outer biscuits from direct heat.

Why are my cookies burning around the edges?

Putting raw dough on cookie sheets still warm from the oven can cause them to begin spreading, leading to burnt edges. Always allow baking sheets to cool completely before adding more batches. To expedite cooling, rinse warm\u2014but not hot\u2014sheet under cold tap water.

Why are my biscuits burning?

The cookie sheet may be too large for the oven and not allowing sufficient heat circulation. The heat is trapped under the pan and the cookies will burn on the bottom before the tops are brown. We recommend at least 1 to 1 1/2 inches around the cookie sheet.

How do you keep biscuits from burning?

Instead of greasing your cookie sheet, line it with a sheet of parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Either will prevent sticking and help protect the bottoms of your cookies.
