What causes the bottom of the cookies to burn?

Burning is most often caused by a problem with the oven or the cookie sheets. Let's start with the oven. Be sure to heat your oven for 10 to 15 minutes before baking to bring it up to the temperature called for in the recipe. Next, check your oven temp. If it's too hot, the cookies will burn.

As for the cookie sheets, using dark, nonstick cookie sheets will make the bottoms of your cookies get too brown or burn. To compensate for this, reduce the oven temp by 25ºF. Also, the cookie sheet may be too large for the oven. There should be at least 1 1/2 inches between the cookie sheet and the walls of the oven.

I got this information from this site
