Cookies that spread into thin puddles usually have warm dough, too much butter or too little flour.
Fixes
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes
- Measure flour correctly
- Use butter that's softened, not melted, unless the recipe says otherwise
- Put dough on cool baking sheets
- Line sheets with parchment rather than greasing them
