I did chill the batter for several hours. I think next time that I am going to try an experiment. i think I will divide up the dough into four batches and try cooking them for different amounts of time. This way if I over-cook/burn some, I won’t ruin everything. I’m not used to doing this like you are but I really like these cookies. They were pretty easy to make too.

I’ve also asked Santa for more of the different sizes of those cookie scoops, so who knows?! I might actually have the correct size scoop next time!

Hey Katie! Maybe next time chill your dough before scooping onto the cookie sheet. It’s hard for me to know exactly why they flattened- but chilling often helps? Yeah- big chunks tend to sink- I crushed mine pretty small :)

p.p.s This is a great cookie. It tastes a lot like a brownie and the peppermint is lovely!

You’re so very welcome!
