The Story:
Do you ever have really embarrassing baking moments? Like you open the door to a friend or neighbor (or worse, a stranger) and they enlighten you to the fact that you have chocolate cake batter all over your face? Little do they know, you were just hardcore licking your mixing bowl.
Or wear black pants only to realize half way through the day that you have a flour handprint on your backside from baking that morning?
Well today, I was visiting a friend and they pointed out to me that my scarf had collected a fair amount of chocolate cookie crumbs. Yes, I was all dressed up and ready for the night… including a midnight snack.

How do you get your cookies to be flat? Mine never spread out, they just stay in a clump. Do you have a tip?
Press the dough balls flatter before baking, that should help
