My sister told me my chocolate chip cookies looked like 'sad little rocks'
She said I was packing the dough way too tight and not chilling it enough, so I tried her tip to just drop spoonfuls without pressing them down. Has anyone else had a simple comment totally fix a baking problem?

Packing the dough too tight is a classic mistake. It doesn't let the butter melt and spread properly in the oven. Your sister was spot on about chilling, too. Warm dough spreads out flat before the structure sets, making those thin, sad cookies. A good chill and a gentle drop makes all the difference for a thick, chewy center.

Actually I've had way better luck packing my dough tight. It keeps the shape from falling apart and gives a nicer edge. A quick bake with cold butter works fine without all that extra waiting around.
