How to get your cookies to come out flat?

Use butter, high liquid, and higher protein flour such as unbleached all purpose or bread flour.

the pizza is out of this world! i have 2 seconds on the hotel computer to tell you that you have to flour your hands when rolling them to get them to come out round.

Rose, I hope you're having a wonderful time in Italy (how could you not) and that someone can help me. I made your lemon poppy cookies (Christmas book) and they came out flat with a lovely golden border. I want to repeat this, but your recipe calls for them to come out as little balls. I can't remember how I got them to be flat. Should I use unbleached flour? They were tender, buttery - and I've been asked to make them for a party this weekend, so I hope someone can help me. Thanks!

mostly because the water in the butter or other liquid such as egg white gets absorbed by higher protein flour so it isn't available to puff up. also if the dough is not chilled and it made with butter, it starts to melt as soon as it's in the oven causing it to spread.

why do cookies come out flat?
Thanks!!!
