Hi, 

I need help on baking cookies. They always seem to be kinda flat and the first batch comes out ok, but the rest after that fall flat and are darker. It says 375 on the package so I turn it on 350 since my oven seems to bake a little hotter. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks

They're also too fluffy if that makes sense. They're sort of flat but fluffy. its a weird texture. I put the correct amount of ingredients . Am I over-mixing?

I don't understand "flat but fluffy"...  Are these a box mix? Try the No fail sugar cookie recipe MBalaska linked. They always come out great.

It was some homemade chocolate chip cookies I baked. They're real "airy" and fluffy tasting. I'm not sure if I over-mix them or what? They taste ok, but I don't like the texture really. I'm not sure what's causing this but it seems to happen every time. 

Oh, chocolate chip cookies! First question is are you using real butter or margarine? Unless you have an allergy do not taint your cookies with margarine! If you are using butter then yes, you are over creaming the butter and sugar or it could be a bad recipe. Shoot for creamy rather than fluffy and when you add the dry ingredients mix until the dough is uniform and then stop! Cover the dough and let it rest in the fridge overnight and then bake the next day. I pre-scoop, cover with plastic wrap and bake off a pan the next day and put the rest of the dough balls in a plastic container or ziplock and freeze them so I can have fresh baked cookies whenever I want!

Yep, I'm using the cheap margarine. :( ...  Thank you so much for the tips! I like the idea of refrigerating the dough overnight. It seemed like my dough was a little too softy/gooey also so I'll try that. 

Ah, mystery solved!
