Resource: Gluten-Free Cookie Troubleshooting Guide
Flat, sticky, limp, burnt, wobbly, dry, gritty cookies? Fearless Dining has you covered with Gluten Free Cookie Baking Disasters and How to Fix Them, offering multiple causes for each problem and detailed advice on how to fix it. For when you just can't give up on a recipe.
I found this site because I recently made some really abysmally flat chocolate chip cookies, like suuuuuper flat, and angrily went looking for answers. In my case, the answer was: GF flour mixes all perform differently (I knew this and thus normally avoid recipes that call for a generic "GF flour mix"), and flour mixes with a higher starch content spread more (not sure I knew this), and those with milk powder really spread (whoops).
Since it was too late to adjust the dough by adding a bit more flour I solved my problem by baking off the rest of my cookies in silicon muffin cups, which created a delicious deep dish choc chip cookie type situation. Not a fix suggested by this website, but you gotta do what you gotta do.
