Question & Answer

Why are my oatmeal chocolate chip cookies flat?

A few common culprits of flat cookies are:

  • the butter was too soft or melted in the dough
  • there isn’t enough flour
  • the cookie sheet was hot before baking (make sure to let it cool completely between batches)
  • using chopped chocolate pieces instead of chocolate chips 
  • baking cookies on a silicone baking mat instead of ungreased cookie sheet

Why didn’t my oatmeal chocolate chip cookies flatten at all?

  • there is too much flour in the dough
  • you used frozen cookie dough

What will keep my cookies from burning on the bottom?

  • The number one thing is to know exactly how long cookies need to bake in your oven. Every oven operates differently, and even one minute extra in the oven can be the difference between perfectly golden and burnt.
  • Likewise, you may need to adjust your oven temperature a little bit depending on if yours runs a little extra hot.
  • Parchment paper! While parchment won’t prevent the cookies from burning, it will protect your baking your baking sheets from mix-ins burning to the baking sheet.
