Kristin, one of the most common reasons why cookies don't spread is because there's too much flour in the dough. Try holding back about 1/4 to 1/2 cup of flour, and consider increasing the brown sugar by a few tablespoons. This will add slightly more moisture and help the cookies spread. Be sure you're also using room temperature ingredients, especially butter, to promote the best spread and texture. We hope that helps! Kye@KAF
