  1. They look underbaked. Needed more time in the oven. Did you bake just one tray at a time?

    Hi!! I’d guess this is a combo of some over-mixing and too low of an oven temp. Silicone mats often require higher oven temps. I know preppy kitchen calls for 300° F so maybe try 315°-325° with silicone mat or try using parchment paper at 300°. I would also space them out a bit more so they aren’t so overcrowded on the pan, and pipe them a little bit smaller. Seems like you piped yours a tad bigger than his, which will also increase baking time. Hope this helps 🙂
