Why do my chocolate chip cookies bake flat instead of fluffy?
I follow the recipe, mixing the sugars, butter, and eggs. I then add dry ingredients, mixing well. I EVEN make sure the butter’s not too soft! Sometimes, I’ll even chill the dough. Nothing seems to work. My Chocolate Chip Cookies ALWAYS come out flat! Is my baking soda ineffective? Should I add more? Anyone have a “fail proof” (or “fool proof”) recipe?
