I have been working all day at working on making cookies for my grandparents. This is about the third time I have made and this is the only time they have not worked. They are speading so much! It is NFSC, I have made two batches, one with butter and the second with Margerine. I am chilling them after every step..what else can I do???

I've run into problems recently, too, and was stumped about what I did different. Aside from the heat wave St. Louis is having, which I guess plays a little role in it, I had switched to rolling my dough between Wilton parchment paper. I thought it would be superior to Reynolds, but then I noticed it was coated with silicone. I ended up with very greasy cookie dough!

For the dough that you already have made, make sure that you are not putting the cut out cookies on a warm cookie sheet. The next time that you make a batch try not adding the full amount (if any at all) of baking powder as it is a leavening agent that causes spreading or makes your cookies rise.
