Strange edges on chocolate chip cookies

I found this chocolate chip cookie recipe that I liked and made it once and it was great. But every time I have made it since, the edges are a little dark and they split with little "v" shapes. The only thing I changed is I started using dark brown sugar instead of light brown sugar. I bought a oven thermometer and make sure the temperature is right... Does anyone know how I can stop getting split edges?

I’ll try returning to the original recipe. I changed it to dark brown sugar because I like my chocolate chip cookies to be a little darker and not so pale, but I’ll see if that corrects it.

It sounds like the switch to dark brown sugar might be causing your cookies to brown more and split. Try baking at a slightly lower temperature, like 325°F, and use parchment paper to prevent over-browning. Also, check if the dough consistency needs adjusting—make sure it's not too wet or dry. You might also experiment with using a mix of light and dark brown sugars to balance the texture.
