How to bake cookies
Keep everything cold.
If you are using butter in your cookies (and even, to a certain degree, if you aren't) you will want to keep your ingredients refrigerator-cold. This will make your cookies much more firm and keep them from spreading out in the oven.

OPTIONS:
--It may sound tedious, but it helps to keep the ingredients cold so you can bake them without dropping them, or skimming the surface. You want to keep all your ingredients in one place..
--This means that you'll have to warm up the butter enough to work with it by placing it on the counter, rather than in the microwave. Absolutely never melt it in order to mix it into the dough..
--You don't have to refrigerate your cookies the whole time. If you're concerned about the flavor, get a bowl big enough to hold a cookie sheet..
--Keep the temperature very low so that you don't come across as a cold person. That is why it's important to read the ingredients to find out which ingredients are most important to you..
