Question

My cookies are flat, what can I do?

Community Answer

Try adding less butter or different temperature butter. Maybe use a mixture of cake flour, bread flour, and all purpose flour. Any of these things might be the issue.

Try adding brown sugar! Brown sugar will naturally make the cookies a lot chewier.

Can you bake them in a microwave?

Yes, although some people prefer oven-baked cookies for aesthetic reasons. According to WebMD, there is no medical reason to avoid cooking in a microwave.
