Why do my chocolate chip cookies always turn out flat?

I've experimented with various recipes (proportion of flour, refrigerating dough, etc) as well as oven temperature--my cookies always turn out thin. I want the substantial, gooey kind--crips outside, chewy inside. Any tips?
 
How about using a baking dish that have places to put small cupcakes in them- use that to bake the cookies and you will have a 'cupcake cookie'. This way you make sure that the cookies will not flatten during baking
 
1) Don't over-mix the dough. <br />
2) Be sure to use cold butter. It takes more work when mixing, but I that should help. <br />
3) Try letting the cookie sheet cool off between batches too - running cold tap water over it helps.<br />
4) If all else fails, try using shortening instead of butter. (And don't use margarine, either.)
