Did you try it on an insulated cookie sheet? That could help the burning...

Maybe align the cookies along one edge of the sheet and only fire the opposite burner as well to reduce the amount of radiant heat.

2. Freeze in cookie-size chunks
(OR buy premade, your choice)
3. When you desire a cookie, bake a few in the toaster oven shown directly behind the bag of cookie dough in the first picture.

Some things I immediately thought of
- Put cookies on a silicon baking mat
- Make a cookie tray sandwich of two or three pans stacked, maybe with a silicon pad in between. Anything to keep the heat away from the cookie bottom until the end.
- Insulated Cookie pan.

We were bored at home last week and decided to try cooking a whole turkey on our grill and it was about 90% successful, kind of like those cookies.
