Hi Ruth! You can always flatten them yourself before baking, but a common reason cookies don't spread well is if there's a little too much flour accidentally packed into the measuring cup while mixing the dough. This is very easy to do because flour likes to pack itself down so we recommend measuring by weight to prevent the problem entirely or, if measuring by volume is the only option, using the fluff, sprinkle, scrape method shown here. Another reason cookies won't spread is if there's very little sugar and/or very little fat, so it's possible that it's just the style of recipe that isn't giving you the results you'd like.
