Every oven with an electric display has 350 as the standard starting temperature. And so many recipes, especially baked goods, call for baking at 350. Is this arbitrary, or is there a reason for it? If arbitrary, where did it come from?

For baking stuff like cookies, 325°F is a good temp for making sure the entire cookie is crispy since the inside cooks slower, 375 -400 is better for making soft and chewier cookies since it quickly cooks the outside and leaves the inside less cooked and you want to take them out when they’re still slightly undercooked since they will continue to cook and harden after taking them out of the oven
350 is the middle ground between those two options, so that’s why recipes call for 350 for cookies atleast
