I made the dough on Tuesday and baked the cookies on Wednesday. They looked great when I took them out of the over (chestnut brown around the egde and golden brown in the middle). Unfortunately, they all collasped after cooling. What did I do wrong? Help!! You didn't do anything wrong - they're supposed to collapse. If they're flatter than you like, it may be because this time of year, at the end of the summer, the flour has absorbed a lot of moisture, so it's "wetter" than normal. If you make them again soon, add maybe 3 tablespoons additional flour, and that should help. Keep experimenting - it's a tasty process! PJH
