Eileen,
Yes, that recipe comes out flat. I have a recipe that I have used for a long time. It makes a rounder and softer cookie. Please try it and let me know if this is what you’re looking for in a cookie.
2/3 cup shortening like crisco
2/3 cup butter or margarine
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
3 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup chopped nuts
12 ounces semisweet chocolate pieces
Heat oven to 375. Mix throughly shortening, butter, sugars, eggs and vanilla. Stir in remaining ingredients. Drop dough by rounded teaspoons about 2 inches apart onto ungreased baking sheet. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until light brown. Cool before packaging.
