i'm cooking cookies and all of the cookies so far has came out perfect (kept their shape).i'm using the nfsc recipe and the cookies have always kept their shape. however, its a different story for my egg cookies. i really want to take a picture of it but the relative that we believe stole my last digital camera is here so i can't take a picture right now. any way, they are huge. the only difference is i had parchment paper on that tray and not on the others. the cutter was a wilton (plastic cookie that they sell four in the box) and all the other cutters were metal. i just put the rabbit in and will see what happens to them. if they swell then i gues i'll have ????? this is funny, i'm crossing my fingers and hoping the rabbits don't swell because then what would i call them?? icon_lol.gificon_lol.gificon_lol.gificon_lol.gif

Was the dough warmer on those particular cookies? I put my parchment-covered cookie sheets in the freezer while the oven preheats. That's long enough to stiffen them. They take a couple of minutes longer to bake, but don't spread.

they were acutally in the freezer longer than any of the others because they were the first one's i cut and when i placed them in the freezer they ended up being the bottom two trays. after i placed the rolled buttercream on the rabbits they don't look as big as they did last night. but the eggs are very big....in fact they are so big that they lost their shapes and looks nothing like eggs. the rolled buttercream that was cut from the same cutter would actually be sitting in the center with lots of cookie hanging out on the sides.

are you sure you used plain flour and not by accident self raising flour?
it seems to me that there is a problem they rais to much maybe you measured the baking powder wrong or used baking soda instead?

just a few things that can go wrong by mistake.

hope you find out what went wrong and that you have more luck next batch.
