It could be differences between
the types of cookie sheets or even the oven — not all ovens bake at the temperatures they claim (and I am not excluding mine from this).

of you who are curious, I made note

Re: shaping the
cookies, the dough is firm enough that it can be easily rolled into balls - which yields 54 one - half ounce balls on three
sheet pans in rows
of 4 -3-4-3-4 which, evenly spaced on parchment paper, results in a tray
of very uniform looking
cookies - for the possibly - unhealthily compulsive personality
types amongst us, ahem.
I would pour the mix into a shallow pan or
cookie sheet type of thing (IDK how much this makes, but whatever would be appropriate for the amount
of cough drop base you have) Use a
sheet of parchment paper or wax paper to prevent it from sticking (if it sticks at all — haven't made it yet!)
If you want to make this
type of chart, collect several metal
cookie sheets, a bag or two
of magnets and a laminator.
Making and decorating four different
types of cookies simultaneously with one oven means that we have to work together to find a balance between time and space management, delegation
of tasks, and staying focused on
cookie sheet rotation.
