Why Are My Cookies Flat?
You need more flour.
You know all those diagrams floating around the internet that show off different cookies based on the oil or butter content, flour ratios, or mixing the dough using a hand mixer or a wooden spoon? It’s basically a big lie.
As much as anything, elevation and humidity play a huge role in how your finished product looks. I’ve lived on the west coast in Oregon, to the mountains in Utah, to the plains of Missouri, to the gulf in Florida.
My best piece of advice is to only cook one cookie in your first batch, and test it to see if you need more flour.
As a rule — hot and humid needs more flour; high and dry needs less.
