A couple of reasons are the your baking powder is old and no longer works or the cookies were too warm when they went into the oven and they spread too quickly before they could rise. Try buying some fresh baking powder and chill your dough in the fridge for an hour before putting the cookies on the pan to bake.

Will baking soda help cookies rise?

yesMore information:Although the purpose of adding baking soda to cookie dough is to help the cookies rise, adding baking soda to a recipe that does not call for it could have the opposite affect.
