Good passwords are a good idea.
Alton Brown's "They Chewy" has been my go to for years, and people never stop raving about it when we bring some over:

Not quite instant gratification since they need a couple hours in the fridge before baking, but they're good, so no biggie.

Didn't notice where they were happening no. Pretty much all the bottoms were at least a little burnt though, just some of them were REALLY burnt. I did rotate the pans and at two different heights (as per the recipe), I would not be surprised if my oven was just too hot though, I was already thinking of getting a thermometer to check it.

My mom actually recommended the AirBake sheets when I showed her what happened, she said they helped her a lot so I may end up picking some up before I cook the other half of the batch.

I find the Alton recipe does not like too much heat. Here in Oz with most ovens being fan forced (convection) only, I find I often have to cook them around 150C to prevent them browning too much before they are cooked through. That's just barely over 300F, and well below the usual 20C drop that most recipes seem to need when going from a regular oven to fan-forced. Also, if the dough isn't completely chilled through, they don't turn out right at all. I tried our airbake pan a couple times, but it ended up just leaving the bottoms under cooked, but that's probably expected with fan-forced vs. bottom element.

drat I can't wait until we remodel out kitchen, and get an oven that's not only bigger than 60cm x 60cm, but actually has proper controls.
