Cookies, Brownies & Bars: common questions

Why are my cookies flat?

Usually butter that is too warm, too little flour, a warm baking sheet or an oven running cool. Chilling the dough for 30 minutes helps most recipes.

Should I chill cookie dough?

For most drop cookies, yes. Cold dough spreads less and the flavor deepens. Thirty minutes is enough to make a difference.
