Reply to "Why do my cookies spread, even without baking powder?"

The recipe I use only has 1 cup butter to 4 1/2 cups flour. It does have 5 eggs which sounds like a lot but that's what makes them so yummy ( 1 1/2 cups sugar,2 tsps vanilla)

I cream the the sugar, butter, eggs and vanilla well and add the flour all at once in the end and only mix until incorporated. I put the dough in two or three flattened portions in plastic wrap in the fridge for at least three hours. After I roll and cut I put my cut cookies in the freezer for ten minutes just before baking. Hope this helps.

Good luck
