Can we talk about how I used to just dump all my cookie dough ingredients in a bowl at once?

For years my chocolate chip cookies came out flat and greasy, but then I watched a video from a baker in Portland who stressed creaming the butter and sugar for a full three minutes. I switched to that method last month and suddenly my cookies have perfect height and chew. Who else had a total cookie texture turnaround from one simple change?

My aunt swore by using cold shortening instead of butter.

Did my friend's cookies finally stop spreading after she chilled the dough?

Maybe she's measuring the flour wrong. Scooping packs it down and adds too much.
