To prevent this, make sure you weigh your butter (1 cup of butter is 227 grams), do not over beat the dough, make sure your oven temperature is accurate and refrigerate the dough for at least 1 hour to let the butter firm up. Your oven may be too low, allowing the cookies to spread too far before they set up.<br /><br />Hope this helps!<br />Check out my blog for more baking tips:<br />www.form5artisan.blogspot.comChristina of Form V Artisanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16883570947306487103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-251887376391647600.post-89724330537053769432010-06-02T17:52:44.112-07:002010-06-02T17:52:44.112-07:00Loving all the great advice here!

The higher the rack, the thicker the edges! Also, refrigerate or freezing the dough prior to baking it helps big time.

When you keep creaming after the mixture gets fluffy, you start to melt the butter from all the friction, so you basically start to bake your butter before the suckers even make it into the oven.<br /><br />So let up on the creaming, or chill the dough longer. Cooling your cookie sheets between batches will also give you perfect cookies.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15601069668510278661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-251887376391647600.post-43701052217927580162010-05-26T20:20:49.626-07:002010-05-26T20:20:49.626-07:00My cookies never spread like that.

Spreading could be due to under measurement of flour. <br /><br />By the way, the best recipe I've ever tried is the NYT recipe. It has you chill your dough for 3 days, which makes a world of a difference. I've tested that recipe without chilling and I still think it has the best flavour compared to all the others I've tried.Stephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05497908859658953330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-251887376391647600.post-48151201049794031942010-05-26T17:23:57.784-07:002010-05-26T17:23:57.784-07:00oooh!!! i love a chewy cookie too! this is sooo go...oooh!!! i love a chewy cookie too! this is sooo going in my rotation!!! thanks for the recipe :)shutterbeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18098732334759230479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-251887376391647600.post-76266703930405336572010-05-26T15:13:21.880-07:002010-05-26T15:13:21.880-07:00I just made these this weekend!Haven't had a c...I just made these this weekend!Haven't had a chance to do my post yet.

Most of my cookies always come out that way and I cannot for the life of me figure out why."<br /><br />There are a lot of factors that influence spread, but I usually find that I run into trouble when I'm impatient and don't seriously let my cookies chill. If it's not that, a dough that's a bit too soft after it's mixed may need a bit more flour. Alternatively, you can try decreasing the amount of protein (use some cake flour instead of all bread flour), or switching some of the butter out with shortening.<br /><br />But really chilling for a long time usually helps me, as well as cooling the tray between batches by flipping it over and running cool water over it.Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15355550574881515046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-251887376391647600.post-70157913080323012492010-05-26T13:15:15.495-07:002010-05-26T13:15:15.495-07:00they look beautiful!

Often the recipe calls to beat just until the eggs are incorporated.<br /><br />They look delicious anyway, though :)sarah @ syrupandhoneyhttp://syrupandhoney.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.com
