FAQ
A: There are a few reasons why your cookies might spread when you bake them. First, make sure that you are using the right amount of flour. Too much flour will make your cookies tough and dry, while too little flour will make them spread too much. Second, make sure that you are not overmixing the dough. Overmixing will develop the gluten in the flour, which will make the cookies tough. Finally, make sure that you are baking the cookies at the right temperature. If the oven is too hot, the cookies will spread too much.
