    Did you use extra flour? Yours look perfect, not flat at all.

        I made mine exactly as written also and they were flat as pancakes. But they tasted good.

          Try placing them in the fridge for around twenty minutes before baking, not only do the cookies come out uniformly sized; it also helps to stop them spreading like pancakes.

    Just made these cookies. Unfortunately they all flattened out. I’m suspecting too much butter or not enough flour. Its definitely got a bit of chewiness.

      BIG helpful hint that I learned from my mom: Use only HALF the butter called for and sub other half of butter with Crisco shortening. (Google for proper way to measure shortening) And DEF put the dough in the fridge for at least 45-60 min before baking. Instead of adding extra flour, add about 1/4 cup of old fashioned oats (grind it up in food processor first.)
