That is the cause of my problem, flat and over spreading. Once I experimented with the mixing my problem was solve. So here is my solution. Mix everything as directed then when it is time to add the flour and the other dry stuff. Just mix it as little as possible. Just till the dry mixture is moist. Then bake and you will see this problem disappear. I found this through trial and error. Problem solved. Took years to figure it out as all my cookies looked the same. No one to show me the way to figure this out. Now they look the same but they all look excellent.
