[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do people create thick dense/chewy cookies at home? Mine always get pretty flat even if I make the dough ball big.[/quote]

You have to use a different recipe. Making a big dough ball won't make a thick cookie.  You also have to chill the dough before you make it.

This recipe that's sort of a shortbread/chocolate chip hybrid went viral:

You could try this recipe that mimics cookies from a bakery in NYC known for big thick cookies:

There's a lot of variety out there so search around, read comments and look at pictures.  Never skip steps like chilling dough.

Levain cookies are way too sweet and basically raw. How they ever became so popular is beyond me.[/quote]

Yeah it's not my personal cup of tea, but I'm just trying to help the PP.  Big thick cookies are about recipe and chilling, not among dough balls.

Now those gingerbread latte cookies they featured in the NYtimes this year, those were my kind of thing. Loved those.
