Cookies do not spread while they are cooking but that may be because I only had butter and the recipe called for margarine. I will make it again to see if this change in ingredients matters and I will rate it again.

Although the nutrition label on this recipe says 0g of trans fats, the recipe calls for margarine which is typically a trans fat product. The recipe should specify margarne that is trans fat free or why not go with butter, a nutritious food in spite of fat content.
