Monique, butter has more water than shortening, so cookies made with butter tend to spread more. Refrigerating the dough before baking might help.

I didn't care for these cookies, even after grating the chocolate The texture was like eating sand. The chocolate didn't dissolve in the batter, also the outer surface of the cookie was still creamy after backing 19-minutes, evidently this is the way the cookie should be. I was afraid of over baking and burning them to continue baking any longer. I had no problem of them spreading out and becoming flat, perhaps it was because I did not sift the flour before measuring it. The instructions are a bit vague on this point.

The reason why your cookies came out flat is because you need to add 2 tsp of Baking powder this will help your cookies to rise.

I substituted 1 stick of butter, & 3 sticks of unsweetened butter (to equal 2 cups) for the vegatable shortening and my cookies were extremely tasty! However they were flat.... :( They were a big hit with the kids, none-the-less!
