Morganrp, it's possible your butter was too soft (or melted). I've also had that happen when I used margerine instead of real butter (or Blue Bonnet).

I tried this recipe this weekend and was VERY disappointed. The cookies just spread out over the entire cookie sheet and I had to scrape them off and throw them away. Any suggestion of what may be the problem?
