Mine also came out just about flat. Tasted good but not as good as they could have been if they held their shape. I did chill the dough and put them on a cooled pan and also "played" with the temperature. They still came out flat. I did make ice cream sandwiches with them. Sorry, I won't make them again.

One of the best features (I found) about these is that they were pretty chewy for a couple of days at least. Altitude could be a factor, as could variations in oven temp. Do you use a thermometer in your oven? Also, I find it's necessary to drop these (and most other cookies) onto a cool baking baking sheet to avoid overspreading. If you want to try these again, you could try chilling the batter for half an hour before baking to see if that helps them hold their shape better. Thanks for reading!

They came out flat (almost paper thin) and hard. Maybe it's the altitude difference? Well they are still enjoyable, but not moist and chewy like the picture lead me to believe.

My mother used to make cookies like this the hard way from scratch so I can't wait to try these! Thanks for the recipe! I’m going to put in the peanut butter chips.

That's how easily this comes together! Just a few observations, 1. I used 2 methods for non-stickiness, parchment and spray, found that the parchment works much better. 2. Scoop immediately before you put them into the oven. If you scoop and let it sit, they get too thin. 3. My oven is an accurate 375 (with thermal gun) and I found timing to be finished at 9 minutes. Imagine how good these would be used as the cookies for an ice cream sandwich! Nice work Sandy.
