There are a few different things that you can try. Some people substitute half of the butter with butter flavored crisco with good results. If you prefer the taste of buttery cookies or don't like the idea of using crisco or shortening for your cookies, then you can try increasing the flour. For example, the tollhouse recipe calls for 2 1/4 cup of flour for a batch. Increase the flour to 3 cups (sifted). This makes them denser and they will not spread. You can also chill the dough for at least 30 minutes in the fridge before baking.

You may want to try these. If some answers may be the same as above I do apologize.
There are a few things that can cause cookies to turn out flat. A few of the most common reasons are: The butter is too warm when you add it to the batter; try refrigerating the dough for 30 minutes before baking. The baking powder or baking soda is old. The oven temperature may be off. Too much extra butter or shortening from greasing a baking sheet; instead of greasing, use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

How to Create Your Own Easy Cookie Recipe?
Everyone loves cookies: plump cakey cookies, crisp cookies, chewy chocolate cookies, crumbly shortbread cookies. Creating your own personal cookie recipe sounds challenging, but once you understand the basics of a cookie recipe, you can change it around to your heart’s content to develop any type of cookie you desire. Here are the basic ingredients needed for any cookie recipe: 1. FATS The type and amount of fat in the cookie will determine what kind of shape it will ultimately have. In general, the more fat in a cookie, the flatter it will cook out and the less fat in a cookie, the more chewy and cake-like it will become when cooked. The type of fat used is also important in the ultimate texture of the cookie. Butter, margarine, and shortening are all common types of fat. Some cookies MUST be made with butter, such as a shortbread. Cookies made with butter will have that melt-in-your-mouth sort of consistency when placed in your mouth. Cookies prepared with margarine or shortening will be a bit more stable when cooked and will keep more of their original shape. 2. FLOUR Some recipes call for all-purpose, some call for pastry flour. Knowing the amount of gluten needed for each cookie to develop properly is important. Bread flour and cake flour will both stand up to the intense heat of the oven and will result in cookies that maintain their original shape. A higher flour to liquid ratio will result in a crumbly, shortbread-like texture. 3. BAKING SODA/POWDER These are the most common leaveners. Baking soda will result in a browner cookie in the oven, while baking powder will result in a puffier, lighter colored cookie. 4. SUGAR A cookie made with white sugar will be crispier in texture, while a brown sugar cookie will remain moist and chewy since brown sugar continues to absorb moisture after cooking. Lower-sugar cookies will be puffier than a higher-sugar cookie. 5. EGGS/LIQUIDS The liquid is the binding agent that holds all of the dry ingredients together. If egg is incorporated, this will help the cookie be more brown and crispy. 6. ADDITIONAL INGREDIENTS You can add anything you like to your cookie recipe. Dried fruits, fresh fruit, oats, candy, chocolate, flavorings. Be creative! Combine interesting flavors and textures to make your cookie truly unique. Cookies should be baked at 350%CB%9AF until golden brown and done. Have fun creating your own cookie recipes!!

Why are your cookies flat?
There are many factors that could cause cookies to be flat rather than raised. The amount of baking powder or baking soda. Using plain milk when buttermilk called for. Too much liquid Too much fat (oil or butter) Using butter or oil instead of shortening or lard Greasing pan (causes cookies to spread) Not allowing pan to cool before cooking successive batches (hot pan causes spreading.) Forgot to include egg. Recipe makes flat cookies, not puffy cookies - try a different recipe.Or put the measerment of bakingpowder or soda
Does using baking powder or baking soda make cookies thicker?
If by "thicker" you mean raised higher, then yes, perhaps. Baking powder and baking soda are both "leavenings," which cause cookies and other baked goods to rise. But there are many possible reasons that cookies bake up too flat and chewy: Too much liquid Too much fat (butter) No acidic ingredient to react with baking soda. Too much baking soda or baking powder. Not enough egg. Not baked long enough Baked at the wrong temperature. All these possibilities depend on the specific recipe. Some cookies contain nothing more than flour, butter and sugar. Other cookies have long lists of ingredients. And some cookie recipes are MEANT to produce flat, chewy cookies.
What can you add in cookie mix that can reduce the amount of fat?
