Why are my cookies suddenly becoming too crisp?

Question

It’s a recipe I’ve made for years the cookies would come out soft and chewy before.

Cheryl · Answer

It crossed my mind too, that the oven isn’t calibrated correctly. I baked banana bread and the middle sank! Better call the company before too much time passes. Thank you for your help.

Should read: even new ovens aren't perfectly calibrated

Nancy · Answer

Cheryl, congrats on new oven! Not to cast aspersions, but even new ovens sent perfectly calibrated.
Maybe worth with checking that interior temp matches exterior reading.
If that's all fine, is there anything else in your baking that's changed?

Cheryl · Answer

Thank you Nancy, funny you should mention the oven. It’s brand new. Maybe, I’m just not used to it yet.

Nancy · Answer

Oven aging so temperature unreliable? Have you checked it with a thermometer inside the oven?
