Tips On Baking Flatter Chocolate Chip Cookies?
I follow the recipes to the T and it turns out too thick. What can I do to make my cookies spread out more instead of rising?
I did melt the butter first. hmmmmm maybe I need to add more butter and little less flour. What if I flatten the dough on my cookie sheet before I bake???

In addition to your cookie dough being not as stiff - whether you do this by adding a drop or two of milk or allowing your butter to be softer - press the tops of the balls of cookie dough with a fork dipped in flour before baking. If the tops aren't pressed, the baked cookie will have a lovely professional 'cracked' top surface generally. But if your cookies are too thick, pressing on the tops (in two directions if you like, making a tic tac toe crisscross design on top) combined with slightly thinner dough should do the trick
PS I add a bit of instant coffee powder to my recipe, It adds a nice richness to the final product which isn't really identifiable as coffee, but is very yummy. In your case, you might dissolve the tsp of dry crystals in a tsp of warm water first, two birds with one stone

Use butter or oil instead of shortening like Crisco. Melt the butter all the way before mixing it in.
Use all-purpose flour, not cake flour.
Increase the amount of sugar slightly. Use more brown sugar/molasses/honey than white sugar.
Bring dough to room temperature before baking.
Remove cookies from oven when they’re just underdone.
