To prevent your cookies from spreading into each other on the pan while they cook, all you need to do is grab a muffin tin to shape your cookies.

When using a muffin tin to shape your cookies, you get that “perfect circle” shape, as each section of the tin is a barrier that prevents the cookies from clumping as they bake.

Using this method, your cookies will only have space to grow “up,” resulting in round cookies that are full, thick, and tall that won’t spread into each other.
