Why did my cookies come out flat?
By Vina from Berryton, KS
There can be several reasons. Maybe ingredients were old, maybe you forgot something, maybe they should had been cold going into the oven and the were too warm, and maybe the cookie sheet was too warm. I use 2 sheets and rotate them for this reason.
Sometimes it is your shortening. Use solid shortening like butter. If you use oiley margarine you get flat cookies.

What would make my cookies flatten out after I take them out of the oven? I have checked my baking soda and my baking powder to be sure they are fresh.
