All my cookies and bars burn on the bottom, even when the top isn't quite ready. (There was a temperature problem with the oven so the manager replaced it with a new one)
My bars burn on the bottom and the side, even when I used a glass pan.
My cookies burn on the bottom even when I use foil. The last batch was non greased also.
Maybe parchment paper?

use parchment or a silicone baking matt from Tupperware or similar...I saw these at Wal Mart for like 12 bux now as opposed to like, 50 or so from Tupperware...
I found the silicone baking matt helped a lot! Silicone bake ware in general seemed to help a lot...
Also, turn down the temp to just a hare less than the recipe calls for and watch the cookies and similar like a hawk! try adjusting the racks in your oven so there is even air flow around the goods while cooking...
glass bottom and aluminium bottom pans cook differently, try some of those insulated baking sheets and pans from Wilton's, they are a little more expensive but they are so worth it! I have a mini muffin pan by Wilton that is insulated that never ever burns the muffins, if they DO burn, it's my fault...lol
Make sure your oven is level as this can affect the heat and air flow as well

You answered your own question with Parchment paper you may also consider getting new cookie sheets the ones you have sound like they are to thin, lower the temp on oven, double pan,
it may be that your recipe is asking for a high temp and remember the time changes with the elevation on where you live above sea level etc. Try baking them at a lower temp if they say 375 try 325 if they say 350 don't let them bake as long remember
you can take out cookies when they are a little soft leave them on the cookie sheet and they will continue to finish baking up to 10 minutes just sitting on the counter. Hope this helps a bit just keep trying bake small batch until you figure it all out and then once your ready go nuts have fun.

You have received lots of good suggestions about pans. I would recommend parchment paper or silicon mats over foil. Since the shininess of the foil reflects heat it will often lead to overbrowning.
Even though you have mentioned that the oven has been replaced I would still recommend you get an oven thermometer that actually gets placed in the oven. This will help you see what the actual temperature is. If the actual temp is higher than the temp you have set it at turn your oven down until the internal thermometer temp is what is specified in your recipe.
Also if you are using glass pans you generally want to lower the baking temp by about 25 degrees.

Do not lower the temp if you are using alum. baking pans...double pan your cookies when baking them. Also buy a silicone baking mat (silpat) & you won't need parchment paper, plus their easier to use. If you are using dark or coated bake pans THEN lower the temp by. 25 degrees. Also make sure your oven is callibrated. Buy an oven thermometer & make sure it reads the same as what the dial is set to. For example, if the oven is set @ 350 F, place the thermometer in the oven & make sure it reads the same. This is of course after it has been preheated. The $5-$10 you spend on the thermometer will save you time & money.

Place your oven rack higher up and lower the temperature. There are cookie pans that won't burn your cookies but before purchasing all new pans I would check my oven temp with a hanging thermometer. Perhaps your oven is calculated to hot for the temp you think your choosing.

To prevent cookies from burning on the bottom, use an insulated baking sheet or stack two same-size cookie sheets together.
Cookies are sensitive to temperature. Too low, and they will melt and lose their shape; too high, and they will burn. If you suspect your oven is flaky, get a second opinion by using an inexpensive oven thermometer to see if 350°F on your oven gauge is 350°F on the thermometer, and adjust as needed.

Double the cookie sheets. My cookies never burn on the bottom when I put one cookie sheet on top of the other and line with foil

There are cookie sheets available that have a double layer of steel or aluminum. This will tend to lower the heat of the metal the cookies contact while they bake.
Parchment paper also helps.
Just keep an eye on them while they bake.

lower temp...and when they are done take them out of the oven..take a spatula and flip the cookies over on the counter to let cool...if you leave them on the cookie sheet they will keep cooking till they burn...sometimes the wont look all the way done...but as they cool they keep cooking...

Yes; lower the temp a bit and use parchment paper; try checking them a little sooner, too.
