Claudia, to prevent your butter-based cookies from spreading, try adding a few additional tablespoons of flour to the dough and reduce the sugar by the same amount (2-3 tablespoons). The cookies won't taste drastically different, but you'll find the cookies hold their shape better. It's also a good idea to chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. Enjoy! Kye@KAF
