Hi, Lynn! It's tough to know for sure without hearing more details about your recipe, ingredients, and technique, but the most common cause is getting a touch too much flour in your dough, which is a super common pitfall for folks who are measuring their ingredients in cups! If you have access to a digital kitchen scale, that's definitely the best way to get consistently accurate measurements. But if that's not an option, then visiting our handy How to Measure Flour guide is a great way to ensure you're getting just the amount of flour you want in our cup, and no more. Happy baking!
