When you shape them make them into a real ball-like shape that is
standing up a lot and cook them for slightly less time. They should
spread out less then.

Make sure you don't use melted butter. Melted Butter makes cookies come out flat.

Are you adding the baking powder/other leaveners, and if so, have you checked to see if they're still good (most leavening agents have a shelf life of, at best, one year.) If older than that, throw them out and replace with new!

Make sure that you dont overbeat the batter, use ungreased sheets for baking, measure your ingredients properly and always check your oven temperature. Hope this small advice will help you... do let me knw... Thnks
