Hello, cookie team! Lately, I've been experiencing some issues with my sugar cookies spreading excessively during baking. I want them to have ideal forms, but they want to go wild! Is there anyone who knows how to stop this? I'd be curious to know your baking wisdom! Regards!

Try chilling the dough before baking! It helps cookies keep their shape. Happy baking!

Hi all! It could be the butter! I think using butter that’s too soft can cause spreading, though chilling the dough before baking might help.

h, the classic spread-out sugar cookie dilemma! Here’s the scoop:

1. Butter temperature – If it’s too soft, your cookies might spread more than you’d like. Try chilling the dough before baking.
2. Too much butter or sugar – Double-check your measurements.
3. Baking soda/powder – Make sure you’re using the right amount. Too much can make cookies spread.

Try these tips, and your cookies should hold their shape better! Happy baking!
