My aunt told me to always use room temp butter for cookies, and I finally listened
For years I just used butter straight from the fridge because I was lazy, and my chocolate chip cookies always spread into one giant flat mess. Last week I actually left two sticks out for an hour like she said, and the difference was crazy. They held their shape perfectly and were soft in the middle. Has anyone else had a simple tip that actually fixed a baking problem you had for a long time?

My friend had the same flat cookie issue until she started using room temp butter too.

Switched to room temp butter and it made a huge difference for my chocolate chip cookies. They stopped spreading into thin pancakes. I also started chilling my dough for at least an hour before baking, which really helped them keep their shape.
