Why do cookies flop when cooling?

I have a great cookie recipe that produces the yummiest white chocolate and macadamia cookies ever. The cookies go into the oven and rise gorgeously. But no matter how slow or fast I cook them, they always seem to drop/fall/flop as they cool. Is there something I might be doing wrong?

There are a few things that can make cookies go flat, such as too much liquid (did you change your brand of butter? Some have a higher liquid content than others), the wrong type of baking sheet, old leavening agents that won't work as well as fresh, a high sugar content, wrong baking temp.

I found a link that gives plenty of tips on how to make perfect cookies (or so the site claims!), maybe there will be some information here to help you.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "drop/fall/flop," but if you mean they bend as they cool, that is perfectly normal. When cookies are hot and fresh from the oven, they are quite flexible - if you keep them on the cookie sheet until they are slightly cooler, they're less likely to bend while cooling.

I hope that helps!
