I've tried putting more backing soda in and everything but they still turn out flat. What am I doing wrong?
Answers:
There are several things you can try, many suggested above. I'd start with those first, except for maybe the crisco thing, though it does work, it's just not natural. 0_o
If you want a thicker, chewier cookie, replace part or all of the flour in the recipe with bread flour (higher gluten content, will keep cookies softer and give them a chewier texture, and they will not spread as much). You can also try baking on parchment paper; not only is it a smooth, disposable, non-stick surface, but it keeps the dough from spreading so far. If you don't have parchment, you can use ungreased foil or just not grease the cookie sheet. The parchment is worth the extra few dollars though, you can find it with the cling wrap and foil at your supermarket, or most places that sell bakeware.

Bet your baking soda is bad - get a new pkg.
Absolutely nothing. Cookies are supposed to turn out flat. If you put more baking soda in them, it'll just make them taste funny. Cookies turn out flat because you actually use a cake recipe to make them. Not an actaul recipe for cake, but the type of recipe is called cake. If you want to make them not flat, you could try putting them in small baking pans or something, but they're still going to be flat. Try using Crisco (vegetable shortning) instead of butter or margarine in the recipe. I've found that the cookies I bake are plumper and the taste isn't impaired by switching away from butter. Good Luck!
Refrigerate dough until firm enough to shape into balls, at least 1 hour then bake.
Softened butter means room temperature butter - make sure you're not melting yours. Make sure to chill your dough - warm dough on a hot cookie sheet will start to spread before you get it into the oven. You could also try using half butter, half shortening.You can try chilling the dough before baking or reducing the amount of fat in the recipe. Make sure the dough isn't too sticky. For instance, when I make chocolate chip cookies, if the dough is too sticky to cookies will turn out flat. I just add a little more flour and it turns out great. Much more convenient than refrigerating it.
