I finally figured out why my cookies were always flat
I was making my usual chocolate chip recipe last week and they spread into sad, thin puddles again. My friend pointed out I was using the butter straight from the fridge and just chopping it into chunks before creaming. I guess cold butter doesn't mix with sugar right, so you don't get enough air in the dough. I let it soften for an hour next time and they came out perfect and thick. Does anyone else have a simple trick they missed for way too long?

Read that tip in a magazine once.

Honestly, is it that big of a deal? My cookies always flatten out a bit and they still taste fine (maybe even better, more crispy).
