Not quite what I expected...

     This week I baked chocolate chip cookies and lavender-lemon scones.  Both were delicious, but with results I had not anticipated.  The cookies and the scones spread while in the oven, more than I ever thought they would.  But hey... they were still good, and I would make both of them again, possibly with a little tweaking.  If you're interested, here are the links...
     And may I suggest... use a smaller round cutter for the cookies than the 2-inch dimension given in the recipe, or do as one reviewer did and cut the dough into small squares.

I actually like how the cookies spread in the oven. When they puff up and become too "cakey" is not to my liking. These look perfect.

I agree with not liking cakiness in a cookie. I prefer mine dark and crisp.
