Why do my sugar cookies puff up?

Cookies spread because the fat in the cookie dough melts in the oven. If there isn't enough flour to hold that melted fat, the cookies will over-spread.

Related to issues of spreading cookies, place the dough in the fridge to chill for about 15 minutes if you're working in a very hot kitchen or if the dough feels too soft to handle.
