All depending on how they were mixed, It's probably the butter. If butter is melted, like when working the cookie dough with your hands, the cookies will spread too much. Also, the type of flour might be wrong. It sounds like you're cookies are leavened when warm, like by steam, and when they cool, the steam is gone and the leavening is gone also.
---- A few suggestions: Don't mix by hand, and use either all purpose flour or a mix between A.P. flour and Bread flour.

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.
