I've enjoyed reading all of these helpful tips and I'm going to try to combine several to get back to my puffy, soft, but crisp outer shell cookies. I think my usual 1/2 crisco to using all butter was the problem. But I wanted to share that I used the slightly flatter cookie warm from the oven with a spoon of vanilla ice cream and put one of its cookie buddies on top. A flatter cookie makes an excellent ice cream sandwich!
