That happened to me a few times, including when I used to have a job making cookies. My guess is, you didn't use enough flour and baked them too long. Or you used too much oil or you meausred correctly and baked at the wrong temperature. The way some ovens are, is that they some how get hotter than the set temperature. So 350 f degrees, isn't 350 but higher. Check your recipe, and try again. Let me know, if you need any more tips.

Instead of the baking soda, use a box of white cake mix and any bag of chocolate chips. When you're mixing, stir in an egg. Seperate into cookies and bake. Watch them carefully. Swear to God, best cookies. Must have miruk.

follow the nestle toll house chocolate chip cookie recipe and make sure you use 2 sticks of real butter not margarine, and make sure the butter is room temp.

Flat usually means the butter was too soft -- did you melt it or anything like that?
I suggest posting the recipe...

The examples you gave are cookies which do not taste good. Choose better cookies as references.

the reason is most likely your butter. did you soften it too much? it should just be semi soft so when you mix it with the sugar, it should form something like a thick paste

Did you use margarine? Sometimes that is the reason too.
