Have made these for years. Also substitute the chocolate for butterscotch or white chocolate!! My kids love to help with these cookies - especially the eating part! five stars

I've made these cookies every year for seven years, but this year, the first batch that I put in the oven just melted. I followed everything correctly, like I do every year, so does anyone have any ideas what I am doing wrong? five stars
