Frequently Asked Questions

Why are my cookies flat?

Cookies rely on the perfect ratio of butter (or fat) and flour. This ratio will help you achieve cookies that spread just the right amount in the oven.

How do you keep cookies from turning flat after baking?

Dry them off and place your cookies on the magically cool sheets. If your cookies repeatedly turn out flat, no matter the recipe, chances are your oven is too hot.
