Even though the recipe is foolproof, there is still a chance that cookies may not spread or become dry and crumbly. If this happens, you might want to adjust the amount of flour you added, as it may be too much. To make sure you are adding the right amount of flour to your mixture, use the spoon and level method. This old-fashioned cookie recipe will make about 24 cookies, which is perfect for sharing.
