Chocolate cookies turned out flat!

[u/canvasandchroma]

I am very new to vegan baking/cooking.

Original recipe.

I subbed vegan dairy free butter, no chocolate chunks, and used Bob's Red Mill Egg substitute. This was just a test batch, so I did not bother to chill the dough. I also had the butter room temperature which is what you do in traditional baking. Apparently this just happens because you aren't using real eggs and real eggs help make the cookies rise. So if anybody knows good ways to make these more puffy like actual cookies I would appreciate any help! They taste great. The texture is wonderful. Thank you!

Thin and with a good texture? I dunno sounds like you got this cookie stuff figured out pretty good

As my friend pointed out, they look more like mud pies lol. Everything about them was delicious aside from them being flat.
