    if you're really being careful there's no reason for them to be thin, mine turn out like the picture

    Cookies stay whatever thickness you put them on the tray do they not?

    they flatten out, especially if there are higher amount of sugar in the recipe

    you are supposed to place the lace cookies i make sometimes sort of ball-like on the tray, then they flatten out into thin cookies

    jane for the other cookies you are talking about, you are balling them up on the tray, right?
    they're not supposed to "rise", they're supposed to go round->flat

    maybe if you make them again take a picture so i can see whats going on

    this was my first batch using the recipe

    But they're like really flat.. They don't seem to be rising even a little bit. Maybe I need a different recipes. They're just not what I thought they should be but that could be my fault.

    Edit: Yeah that's what I mean Dolorous. Recipe says a quarter of a cup per cookie and that's what I used. I'll try bigger next time and see what happens. They're turning out not even a centimetre thick. In my head cookies should be kinda big. I could be just being picky though.

    Just admit it, you’re trying to make my choc chip Rusks aren’t you :P

    Different styles of cookies turn out differently, some are meant to be thin and crispy, some are meant to be big fat monsters, adjust them to whatever way you like them, it's flexible enough on most recipes. The more sugar the more chewy the cookie, crispier cookies have less sugar.

    I went for an hour long walk in the sunshine with the dog, undoing all that hard work now with some of the yummy semifreddo :)

    i thought thinner ones had more sugar since the sugar thins them?

    well, we're using a monster recipe anyway

    Sorry I wasn't really talking about how thick or thin they are, just using sugar to show how recipes differ, and the more sugar in a cookie the chewier it is, that's why the best ones are the worst for you :p

    Nope, probably Herbstreet for brunch because it will suit our friends really well, undecided about tapas, will probably decide when we are bored off our faces on the bus to Dublin :)

    Going to Coronas gig, won tickets few weeks ago :) Going trying on dresses Monday purely because I might as well do it while I'm in Dublin instead of making a trip up especially. Going to one dress shop then off to Ikea with my friend and her giant jeep, woohoo!

    I made that the last time I was on duty. Correction, chocolate ginger nut cake. Makes alllllll the difference!

    I'm going to do banana & peanut butter muffins and a caramelised onion quiche, cause I like savoury things!

    I know, the older cat has had a million collars, this is her first one and the bell is driving her cracked, she doesn't know whether to play with it or kill it. She broke the bell off the older cat's collar, so now she has her own one!!

    Sounds like you might have a slow puncture in there. You tried replacing the tube?

    Yeah changed it twice and it repunctured a mile later, twice...

    Think I'll get someone else to do it, must be missing something in the tyre.

    Is she actually going to get a full silent disco gig or is she just telling everyone to bring their own ipod?
