Yeah, I saw that and it didn't help. I've read and tried multiple recipes but I keep getting thicker cookies.

I used no baking soda, half and full amount and still get basically the same result.

I use good butter and follow the recipes to the letter. I went with a Martha Stewart one last night and some of the reviews complained about them being thin and spread out too much but that's not what I got.

I can't get them to spread out like I want.

Responses:

did you try crappy ole margarine instead of butter? -- nm - Pippy - puppet make up artist Jan 30, 06:14 13
- No. Every recipe says quality butter and I don't think margarine would work well overall. -- nm - Krusty Jan 30, 06:24 12
  - this page has some ideas (like using bread flour and melted butter instead of all-purpose) -- (link*) - decline Jan 30, 06:31 4
    - also the oven temp noted there is probably key - and since ovens really vary wildly in the temps you may need to play with that a lot -- nm - decline Jan 30, 06:33 3
      - I was thinking the temp or oven could be the issue -- nm - Krusty Jan 30, 06:44 2
        
        it really could be - if you're oven runs hot it'll make the cookies set faster which will prevent spread -- nm - decline Jan 30, 06:46 1
        
        I'll drop the temp down next time and see if that helps -- nm - Krusty Jan 30, 06:58
  - but would it be flatter? I don't know. -- nm - Pippy - puppet make up artist Jan 30, 06:27 6
    - Margarine has a lower melting point so in theory would flatten them out more. -- nm - Reagen Jan 30, 06:49 4
      - I'm willing to give it a try but I worry they won't taste as good -- nm - Krusty Jan 30, 06:59 3
        
        (they won't - margarine is icky) -- nm - decline Jan 30, 07:08 2
        
        I use it all the time. Usually get the canola/olive mix. -- nm - Reagen Jan 30, 07:19
        
        I haven't touched the stuff in decades but I'll try anything to get the cookies right. I'll go with lower temp and/or different flour - Krusty Jan 30, 07:10
    - Hmmm -- nm - Krusty Jan 30, 06:44
