I'm not sure what went wrong because this recipe always gets good reviews. Also, if you halved the recipe then the correct amout of baking soda would be 1/4 teaspoon since I used 1/2. It's possible it was the baking soda, but probably something else. Did you use something other than butter (a spread, maybe?), not use enough flour (I didn't put a weight, so maybe your cup was lighter than my cup). Also, is it possible you forgot to halve one of the the sugars or didn't halve the butter? Many times while halving a recipe I have mis-measured the butter or forgotten to halve the sugar. Too much sugar and (sometimes, not always) too much butter can cause spreading. Feel free to email me if you want to try again. We can trouble-shoot together since this is generally a pretty safe recipe. Hi Amanda,

They spread so far into one another and were extremly thin. Wonder if 1/8ts just isn't enough baking soda...hmmm. They tasted great though I will say that... I dug right into my thin hot mess cookies lol...do wish they had a little more graham flavor though.

Sounds like your oven is running hot or something went wrong while mixing. 375 should be fine for normal ovens, but lots of ovens run hot. I'm glad you didn't bake all the dough at once. If it doesn't work the second time, then something went wrong when you were making the recipe. Feel free to email me if you have any questions, but this recipe is usually a success. I'd be happy to help you troubleshoot. Yikes! Sounds like your oven is running hot or something went wrong while mixing. 375 should be fine for normal ovens, but lots of ovens run hot.
