How come miniature anything makes everything that much better? In keeping with that feeling, I made these with mini chocolate chips as well. Check them out on my blog. http://cenabimus.blogspot.com/2011/07/foodfoodfood.html Hi,

I think I also made them a little too big. I checked the baking soda and it's fresh. I want to try these again because the few that did work out really did taste nice. They were almost...meaty. I don't know how else to describe them! Well, I actually refrigerated the dough for 24 hours before I baked, as I thought this was a good idea for any dough?

Relative to a lot of CC cookie recipes I’ve used, these were intended to be on the flat side, given that the butter is so soft (no fridge time to allow it to firm up) and that there is not a lot of leavening agent (only a half teaspoon of baking soda). But if yours came out even flatter than mine (as you can see in the photos, the chips stood up visibly from the dough), there might be a few factors that could have affected the results. As you suggested, your flour might have been the culprit. When measuring, I use the scoop and scrape method, meaning I dip my measuring cup into the jar of flour, pull out a heaping scoop, and then use a knife to level off the top, taking care not to pack the flour down. More likely, however, the issue could rest with your baking soda, the amount used or the age of the product will both affect the rise. This and the beaten egg (I used a large one) are the only ingredients that lend any lift to the cookies. How did they taste? Was all forgiven at first bite? Were they still chewy? Cheers for letting me know how it went! Sue -

One pan kind of worked, but I had to bake the heck out of them in order to prevent them from falling. All of the others fell. How did you measure your flour? I did the spoon from the bag into the measuring cup method. Perhaps that's not why they fell? I don't know.... I made these last night and they didn’t work.

There are nothing like those "early days in the city" friends. I know mine are some of my nearest and dearest. And the cookies look perfect for the party. I'm also a sucker for anything mini.
