Every time I make cookies they turn out flat. (I even had the special oven fan on to make them fluff up.) I actually really don't like making cookies. I hate doing the batches. The cookies are more concave than flat. They giant craters in them. Jared loves cookies and I love Jared so I'm trying to master them to show my appreciation. He says he likes them flat...but I still wonder if that's really the truth.
See that stack of 6 concave cookies? Well, it's ~2 in. high. (I might be exaggerating.)

Yep, all us expats have flat cookies due to the high-fat butter they have here (my current theory). You have to whip that butter like a mad woman when you're creaming it with the sugar. A little more flour can help too. They look yum anyway :)
I prefer flat cookies.
flat cookes are by far the best!
They look yummy! It seems we were on the same page fpr baking cookies.
I was of the flat-cookie-woman variety (as opposed to the venerable eight-cow-woman) for years before a friend clued me in to her tip: add a little more flour. Good luck!
My favorite cookie recipe that we just found is from Cook's Illustrated--best chocolate chip cookies I've ever had, and they have a trick that makes them not turn out flat. Recipe is posted on my blog (I think sometime back in July or August) if you're interested. They definately impressed my hubby :)
