Great recipe! Cookies dont spread.
I made these and they are great!
Whenever I make sugar cookies, they always spread out. I want to make thick ones but the thicker I roll the dough, the more they spread. I made sure to put them on cool cookie racks, what else can I do? Any suggestions?
want to do cookies on stick did this one work?
