My chocolate chip cookies went flat for years until I tried a trick from a bakery in Boise
Every time I made chocolate chip cookies, they would spread out into thin, crispy pancakes. I thought it was my oven or the recipe, but it happened for three years straight. Last month, I was visiting my sister in Boise and stopped by a little bakery downtown. I mentioned my cookie problem to the owner while buying a loaf of bread. She told me to chill my dough overnight and use cold butter straight from the fridge. I tried it as soon as I got home, and my next batch came out thick and chewy, just like I wanted. It turns out I was rushing the process and my kitchen was too warm. Has anyone else had a simple tip completely fix a long-running baking fail?

Seriously, three years of flat cookies? That's some next level dedication to a bad batch.

Maybe they're making cookie frisbees.

I feel your pain, murray.pat, my oven does the same thing.
