Review: 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.

Review: 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!
