I don't think I'm gonna be that mom. Unless kids like their cookies flat and gross.
Rachel and Chad came over and I said I'd make them cookies, sadly these are the results they were met with. Also Zach accidentally served them drinks in dirty cups from the dishwasher that he thought were clean.
We are good at hosting!

Next time just add 1/4 to 1/2 a cup of extra flour and they'll plump right up. I discovered on accident that using expired vanilla also makes yummy-tasting cookies. But I can't guarantee that this won't poison you, so you may not want to follow that tip.
Freeze your flour. It makes them more fluffy. Also keep your butter cold, even better, use half margarine or half shortening they don't flatter like butter does. Or you could chill your dough for about an hour.
I'll bet they tasted good though!!
I have the best chocolate chip cookie recipe. I would give it to you, but it's not like it's even *mine*. I can tell you where to find it though!
Also, I just went through Mother's Day and all my kids wrote on ALL their little surveys and notes they made for me at school that they love me because I make awesome brownies, they love me because I bake them cookies, etc etc. It was flattering, but also kind of weird. It was ALL they talked about.
I'm not sure it's all its cracked up to be, is what I'm saying. Maybe set the bar low.

Lol, Zach served them drinks in dirty cups.
Seriously the dirty cups thing gave me a much needed laugh. Not gonna lie I might have dry heaved a little.
I am always on the hunt for a good cookie recipe, too. I made these recently and they turned out awesomely:
